Thanks for that reply - yes if I were distributing things using a Makefile.PL then this would be a non-issue. But right now I distribute things as Debian packages, and raw .tar.gz files.

(This particular case came up when I made a new release of my chronicle blog compiler.)

Changing my test case to read as follows still fails though:

#/usr/bin/perl -w
#
use strict;
use warnings;
no warnings "all";
use Test::More qw( no_plan );

BEGIN{ use_ok( 'CGI' ); }

BEGIN{ use_ok( 'Date::Format' ); }

BEGIN{ use_ok( 'POSIX' ); }
