No problem.  I like the idea of a lightweight solution to this problem.

Barring me misunderstand something here, I think there are several
solutions, all of which require more than a simple patch, none of which
are terribly difficult.

Solution 1:  Remove BeerDB from the distribution.

As far as I can see, you don't actually use BeerDB.pm anywhere, even in
the tests.  Am I mistaken?

Solution 2:  Move BeerDB out of the lib/ directory and into an
examples/ or t/test_lib/ directory.

By going that route, you can include BeerDB but not worry about it
being installed.  If you browse Class::Trait
(http://search.cpan.org/src/STEVAN/Class-Trait-0.01/), you'll see an
example of test modules that are included in the test directory.

Cheers,
Ovid
