Yes, regarding PERLLIB, you read it right. To be exact, there are 439 entries, which collectively radiate cold shafts of broken glass in every direction imaginable. :-/
Could you kindly shed some light on what you mean by a test suite? I am asking because, typically, Perl scripts are run to initialize a chip-building environment by parsing configuration files and settings, etc., and then a non-Perl compiled binary is fired up for what can sometimes be a multi-day run. Now, I could skip the non-Perl compiled binary activity for testing purposes. The different Perl scripts, though, are run from one wildly different location to another. Are you saying a master/test Perl script should be used to appropriately augment @INC as each chip-building Perl script fails? In other words, at the start of test suite activity, empty @INC and build it out to include only what is necessary.
Pardon my ignorance, but I am not familiar with setting up test suites in Perl. Typical Perl scripts that I author, for example, require only a handful of custom modules, so this is turning out to be quite the learning experience for me...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
