I don't know about the number part, but MakeMaker (or whatever in the backend) globs t/*.t for test files, and runs them. Generally you wanna name these, and putting numbers don't hurt (it's like a convention).

Remember when I say above I added use lib 't'; like to the test file (i do)? You don't do it in the makefile, you do it in your test file.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
