But the problem was: why did it work on *my* computer?
Turns out to be a combination of my typo, and an old version of Test::More.
First, I reversed the quotes. I initially had:
require "$Bin/helper.pl";
I changed that to:
require_ok("$Bin/helper.pl");
That would have worked (I now know) on a newer Test::More, but it did not
work on mine, so I changed it to:
require_ok('"$Bin/helper.pl"');
I meant to put the single quotes inside the double quotes, but I didn't
notice because ... it worked! The reason why is because Test::More changes
that to:
eval <<EOT;
package main;
require "\$Bin/helper.pl";
EOT
So then $Bin is evaluated in its proper context. Neat.
Anyway, rather than making people upgrade their Test::More for this one
test, I reverted it back to a plain require() for 0.76, which is on your
CPAN shelves now.
