I recently uploaded a new module to CPAN, JSON::Relaxed. For the tests I decided it would be cool to put all my testing subroutines into a separate file because, y'know, that's what you do with subs that you intend to use elsewhere.

So in test.t I put this line: 

require './lib.pm';
Well, the testers weren't too happy. They gave this error: 
Can't locate ./lib.pm in @INC
So, apparently I can't require a file in a test script the way I can in the real world. Is there a way to include lib.pm (which is in the same directory as test.t for use in my tests?
