Might I ask the reasoning behind doing things this way?

In no way do I mean disrespect, but this has the "X-Y Problem" phenomenon written all over it. As someone who was also once a first-time CPAN contributor (always seeking ways to do ingenious things at that), there are sometimes more efficient ways of doing things we might not have thought of yet.

I've had a look at your Github repo, and it looks sane, except you've got extra stuff in t/ directory which looks a bit odd. Could you explain your reasoning behind why you've done things this way?

Perhaps instead of helping fix a symlink problem (which, by the number of responses doesn't seem like it's gaining traction), we could assist with easing your directory layout situation, possibly with automation using the build system or even the tests themselves.
