Subject: PERL5LIB contains too many paths
I believe this is different than bug 44601 even though they both have to do with code that generates PERL5LIB. By design, when PERL5LIB is defined, it gets *prepended* to the standard lib. However, Test::Harness::Straps duplicates the current standard lib into PERL5LIB. This is a problem when a test calls a system command that calls a *different* version of Perl. That system command process ends up with two versions of Perl standard libs in @INC, which is not allowed and errors. But I also admit that I don't fully understand the purpose of Test::Harness::Straps::_INC2PERL5LIB.

Hi, Test::Harness::Straps is deprecated. It exists only for compatibility. Instead you'll want to use TAP::Harness and TAP::Parser which are all part of Test::Harness version 3. -- 91.
