Use a buildcustomize.pl to set @INC in miniperl when building extensions.
With the build tools now shipped in various subdirectories of cpan/ and dist/ we need to add several paths to @INC when invoking MakeMaker (etc) to build extensions. The previous approach of using $ENV{PERL5LIB} was fragile, because: a: It was hitting the length limit for %ENV variables on VMS b: It was running the risk of race conditions in a parallel build - ExtUtils::Makemaker "knows" to add -I../..lib, which puts lib at the *front* of @INC, but if one parallel process happens to copy a module into lib/ whilst another is searching for it, the second may get a partial read c: Overwriting $ENV{PERL5LIB} breaks any system where any of the installed build tools are actually implemented in Perl, if they are relying on $ENV{PERL5LIB} for setup This approach a: Doesn't have %ENV length limits b: Ensures that lib/ is last, so copy targets are always shadowing copy sources c: Only affects miniperl, and doesn't touch $ENV{PERL5LIB} Approaches that turned out to have fatal flaws: 1: Using $ENV{PERL5OPT} with a module fails because ExtUtils::MakeMaker searches for the build perl without setting lib, and treats the error caused by a failed -M as "not a valid perl 5 binary" 2: Refactoring ExtUtils::MakeMaker to *not* use -I for lib, and instead rely on $ENV{PERL5LIB} [which includes "../../lib"] fails because: some extensions have subdirectories, and on these EU::MM correctly uses -I../../../lib, where as $ENV{PERL5LIB} only has space for relative paths, and only with two levels. This approach actually takes advantage of ExtUtils::MakeMaker setting an -I option correct for the depth of directory being built.
