File::Glob in failure perl5.05_63 XSLoader on OpenBSD 2.6

[Tom Christiansen <tchrist@jhereg.perl.com>]

[I perlbugged this, but it never seems to have shown up]

I've had problems getting 63 installed on OpenBSD 2.6.  This seems to be
related to the new "File/Glob.pm" module.  (Or maybe to "XSLoader.pm",
which I hadn't heard about; its docs are sparse at best.)

When you try to do a make install, you get this:

    ./perl installperl
    Can't load 'lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so' for module File::Glob:
      No such file or directory at lib/XSLoader.pm line 73.
     at lib/File/Glob.pm line 94

     Compilation failed in require at installperl line 65.
     BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at installperl line 65.

That's what's happening with make install, which hacks up its own @INC.  

I get 100% compliance on make test, too.  (Well, once rand#7 failed,
but not repeatably!).

Here's a bit more investigation:

    % pwd
    /usr/local/src/perl5.005_63 

    % ./perl -le 'print <*.y>'
    Can't locate File/Glob.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00563/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00563 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/5.00563/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at -e line 1.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
    Exit 2

    % ./perl -Ilib -le 'print <*.y>'
    Can't load 'lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so' for module File::Glob: No such file or directory at lib/XSLoader.pm line 73.
     at lib/File/Glob.pm line 94
    Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
    Exit 255

    % ls -l lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 tchrist  wheel  17971 Dec 11 08:30 lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so

Now, isn't that odd?  It's there, but it can't find it.  Let's
try something else...

    % ./perl -I $cwd/lib -le 'print <*.y>'
    perly.y

See that?  If you give a path that's absolute, not relative,
it works.  Isn't that interesting?  It gets better.

    % cd t
    % ../perl op/glob.t 
    1..6
    ok 1
    ok 2
    ok 3
    ok 4
    ok 5
    ok 6

Now, why did that work.  Oh.  The test loads @INC to contain
"../lib".

    % ../perl -I ../lib -le 'print join(" ", <*>)'
    README TEST UTEST base cmd comp harness io lib op perl pod pragma

So it's not just absolute it works in.  It's ok with "../lib" 
as well.

I started looking through DynaLoader.pm for instances of "dir" 
and path mungeing, but there's so much of it, I thought I'd stop
now and mail it in.

Here's what I'm running:

    % ./perl -Ilib -V
