Cannot switch from an install with local::lib to one without

[karenetheridge]

It does not seem to be possible to switch between an install with a local-lib attached, and one without:

After others could not repro on irc, I tried in a new shell and cannot repro myself either. I must have had some artifacts from an older perlbrew in the environment; closing until I can reproduce again.

With a new shell, and simply using a local-lib, I get undef warnings:

I've fixed the warning in the local::lib repo, but I'm not sure what perlbrew is doing to cause it, though.

Things seem to work, regardless of the warning, though.

I've just released this as 1.008009.

I believe this issue was fixed in 4665340 , but it has been on and off from time to time. Apparently some combination of local::lib version can still trigger this warning.

I did some debugging on the warning a few weeks back:
