[Module::Build] [PATCH] Failure to find local 'lib' dir during M::B install with tests that chdir

[Chris D. <ch...@cl...>]

[Sorry to post this to the list.  RT seems to be down right now...]

I just tried installing 0.28 via CPANPLUS on a Mac 10.4 box where I  
had 0.27_06 installed before and got the following errors:

t/ppm............. * ERROR: Configuration was initially created with  
Module::Build version '0.2706',
    but we are now using version '0.28'.  Please re-run the Build.PL  
or Makefile.PL script.
t/ppm.............dubious
         Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

t/xs.............. * ERROR: Configuration was initially created with  
Module::Build version '0.2706',
    but we are now using version '0.28'.  Please re-run the Build.PL  
or Makefile.PL script.
t/xs..............dubious
         Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

The issue seems to be that Build.PL shifts 'lib' and 't/lib' onto the  
@INC stack as relative paths.  Then when some of the regression tests  
chdir, they fail to find the 0.28 .pm files and instead find the old  
ones.  The following patch works for me by forcing the @INC additions  
to be absolute instead of relative.
