Doh! You're right. I've done that myself.

Dangerous. Take Test.pm for instance. It expects certain tests to be
on certain lines because it reads back its own error messages.
Ok, two birds with one stone. Define t/TestSetup.pm as:
chdir 't' if -d 't';
@INC = '../lib';
And then have TEST run all tests with "perl -MTestSetup"!
Now is the time on p5p when we dance.
