There's already the beginnings of something like this in t/TestInit.pm, but
it wasn't updated for the PERL_CORE trick. Nor do I know if it can be
entirely trusted.
Also, Nick's example is a little odd. You usually don't want '.' (ie. t/)
in your @INC. It's more like this:
BEGIN {
if($ENV{PERL_CORE}) {
chdir 't';
@INC = '../lib';
}
}
but in some cases you need to include something more. For example,
MakeMaker does this:
BEGIN {
if($ENV{PERL_CORE}) {
chdir 't';
@INC = ('../lib', 'lib');
}
else {
unshift @INC, 't/lib';
}
}
so it can see specialty helper modules in t/lib/.

Seems like it would be nicer to set that externally, rather than
in every test file. Maybe some code like this could be added to
blib.pm or something? Then one could do something like this:
perl -Mblib=only t/foo.t

I might have inferred it, but this helped me understand various
implications, actually.
