Subject: $module->get chdirs to the build directory
While writing some CPAN automation tools I discovered that $module->get was chdir'ing to the CPAN build directory but not back out. This makes developing using CPAN::Shell difficult as you're never quite sure what directory you'll wind up in. Ideally the user visible routines of CPAN should not result in a changed directory.

The "problem" is that "get" is really "get and decide which PL file to use". Worse, that's where configure_requires get satisfied. Sometime "soonish", I'd like to refactor all PL selection and configuration out of get() and make() into a separate routine. -- David
