As of today, I'm still getting a number of failures, all of the form

../lib/Module/Build/t/basic..................................Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /tmp/perl/lib/5.9.4/sun4-solaris /tmp/perl/lib/5.9.4 /tmp/perl/lib/site_perl/5.9.4/sun4-solaris /tmp/perl/lib/site_perl/5.9.4 /tmp/perl/lib/site_perl .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Use of uninitialized value $perl in concatenation (.) or string at /home/doughera/src/perl/perl-andy/t/../lib/Module/Build/Base.pm line 1162.
sh: -le: not found
ok

What's perhaps equally distressing is that despite these failures, 
t/harness still reports "All tests successful":

All tests successful (5 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 63 tests and 315 subtests skipped.
Files=1227, Tests=163911, 6437 wallclock secs (2076.56 cusr + 343.13 csys = 2419.69 CPU)

This also means that my previous report that Randy's patch worked may not 
have been entirely correct -- this failure may still have been present, 
but since it slips through the test harness, I might not have noticed it.

Lastly, here's a bit more verbosity on where it goes wrong.  
Specifically, only the tests where it runs ../../../perl Makefile.PL seem 
to fail. Again, the problem is @INC is looking for the not-yet-installed 
perl.
