Yes, my bad.  That's what I get for rising to Jarkko's bait, I suppose.

One early difficulty was that I normally build and test Perl with a
rooted-logical environment. I was getting test errors (not from the
directory depth), but tracking down the other errors by running the test
manually from a non-rooted environment exposed the problems with
directory depth.

Of course, running manually meant I also had "PERL_ROOT" defined, so
Perl had no difficulty finding its libraries.  Damn.

So, a couple of  possible solutions: move the test directory stuff to
somewhere higher in the directory heirarchy...I think we're okay with
one level below the directories where the test scripts live.

Do the "rooted logical" so that it corresponds to the usual PERL_ROOT.
That way the relative directories will work properly.
