Is t/ the only directory? It would be nice to leave t/ for tests.

Is the indexer documented someplace? I was having trouble with it
parsing the version number of one of my modules.

I don't know about the indexer on PAUSE, but search.cpan.org does
not look inside t/ but it does index all other modules it finds.

Okay, I'm moving it all into t/lib, but that means that I now have this in Makefile.PL:

use lib 't/lib';

This ain't portable, of course. I can use File::Spec, but then it becomes required, too, and would likely have to be included in the distribution, since Makefile.PL will use it before it uses WriteMakefile(PREREQ_PM). It has been in the core since 5.6.0, IIRC. How do people feel about this?
