Subject: Some changes wrt chdir suspicious
Doctor, I'm looking at these statistics figures all the week and my eyes hurt already. See, here is obviously something gone wrong with CPANPLUS I'd say. This distro has a PASS to FAIL ratio of 105/7. All 7 FAIL come from CPANPLUS >= 0.98_08 from bingos. No, dear, your eyes surely are overworked, see here is another report by CPANPLUS 0.89_09 by bingos that is a pass. Nono, Doctor, look, but this other report has no CPANPLUS::Dist::Build version number reported and no File::Spec version number either. Oh, the whole stanza about version numbers is missing and yet it claims to be written by CPANPLUS 0.89_09. This is indeed frightening. You really should go to bed now, this is insane to watch all week long. Hrm, yes, but please tell bingos about these, will you? OK, here goes: Find::Lib 1.01. All 7 FAIL reports are suspicious as described above. All 7 have the same error message Failed test 'we didn't die because chdir doesn't change PWD, so we are safe' All 7 happened on i86pc-solaris. I'd say we show this to the CPANPLUS people first and they can decide if it is a bug in Find::Lib or in CPANPLUS, kay? Thank you, Doctor. I promise this was the last one for today. Good night.

Well, it isn't a regression in CPANPLUS as I can reproduce it with 0.88 I'm starting from a fresh perl-5.10.1 install to see where things go wrong as it could be a regression in one of CPANPLUS' dependencies.
