`perl -Ilib t/message.t` is fine, `prove -Ilib -r t` works fine, 
replacing Makefile.PL with a Build.PL and `./Build test` works fine.  no 
idea what MakeMaker (6.62) is doing, but it appears to be getting 
something wrong with the environment.  Worse, it looks like MakeMaker 
6.56 doesn't have this problem (so maybe you want to move the bug to 
that queue.)

I think this can be closed:

• There's been a lot of water under the EUMM and HTTP-Message bridges since then (the issue was originally raised in 2012, ten years ago), and HTTP-Message has been very green on CPAN Testers in all recent releases (from a quick spot check, most failures seem to be down to t/response.t randomly fails #101)
• I emailed EWILHELM to ask if he still has access to the place where he had the problem, and could confirm it was ok, but haven't had any reply (not a big surprise, as he hasn't released anything since 2013).

The bug report does look like it was an unfortunate combination of things leading to the problem. I concur that we should close this. Thank yo for investigating and following up @neilb!
