Installing rpm-build-perl 0.6.1 (scroll to bottom for platform details),
'make test' fails, preventing installation with CPAN.
I get the following output from 'make test':

It appears t/03-perlprov.t assumes on lines 36 and 48 (quoted below)
that Cwd.pm will always be installed in $Config{installarchlib}
(/usr/lib/perl/5.8 on my system), when it could be in
$Config{installsitearch} (/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8).
From t/03-perlprov.t (line numbers added):
36 my ($lib, $arch) = @Config{qw{installprivlib installarchlib}};
48 Provides "$arch/Cwd.pm" => "perl(Cwd.pm) = ";
The workaround is to manually run 'make install' in the rpm-build-perl
build directory, or perhaps force PathTools to install Cwd.pm in the
installarchlib directory.
A fix will require reworking t/03-perlprov.t to also test the alternate
directory.
