Ok, well, I figure out part of it. I had tried exporting PERL5LIB as
"/export/home/thane/perllib". When I export it as: 
PERL5LIB=/export/home/thane/perllib/lib/5.6.1:/export/home/thane/perllib/lib/site_perl/5.6.1

I get a lot farther. This time "make test" completes successfully... but
"make install is still failing:
