in thread Makefile.PL even weirder on Windows

The answer to all your questions is "yes". Seriously.

If you have a file named ./test.pl, it will be run, and the results ignored by the Makefile (IIRC, of course -- read the disclaimer) (MM doesn't actualy run anything, it only writes a makefile. CPAN only runs the makefile). If there is a ./t/ subdirectory, it will be run via Test::Harness. See it's POD for details of the output format, or just use it's runtime functions (ok, ok_if, etc).
