What I normally do is put it under t/lib (say
t/lib/Config/IniFiles/TestFiles.pm) and then do:
<<<
use lib "./t/lib";
use Config::IniFiles::Testfiles;
use Config::IniFiles::OtherHelperModule;
# Etc.

This is cleaner than calling the module itself "t::", as modules that start
with a lowercase letter should be pragmata.
