More info:

Sticking 
    diag '@INC is now: ', Dumper(\@INC);
into t/01basic.t after the shift we get:


in jawnsy's sbuild:

# @INC is now: $VAR1 = [
#           '/usr/share/perl5',
#           '/usr/lib/perl/5.10',
#           '/usr/share/perl/5.10'
#         ];

in my cowbuilder:

# @INC is now: $VAR1 = [
#           '/tmp/buildd/',
#           '/usr/share/perl5',
#           '/usr/lib/perl/5.10',
#           '/usr/share/perl/5.10'

in my normal environment:

# @INC is now: $VAR1 = [
#           '/home/gregoa/',
#           '/usr/share/perl5',
#           '/usr/lib/perl/5.10',
#           '/usr/share/perl/5.10'
#         ];


Looking at lib/vendorlib.pm:
Maybe the path is removed by

    # remove any directories that don't actually exist
    # this will also remove /etc/perl on non-Debian systems
    @paths = grep -d, @paths;

i.e. /home/$user doesn't exist in exist but is reported by
getpwuid($<))[7] ?


Cheers,
gregor
