I'm trying to set up a simple site with Catalyst. When you create one with catalyst.pl, it creates a Makefile.PL in your root directory. Execute that and you get a Makefile, which comes with several useful targets including test, that runs the tests in the t/ directory. As you add more to the site, you can run that again and it will pick up more tests.

Does anyone know how to configure it so that it will look in more places than just t/ for test files? I'd like to be able to scatter foo.t files to locations like lib/AppName/Schema/Results/t/ and have it pick them up automatically when I next run Makefile.PL.

The obvious option is that I could edit the Makefile manually to do what I want, but if I do that then there will be a problem if Makefile.PL is run again, and Makefile.PL has a warning that if it is removed that the site won't work as expected. I don't feel like finding out directly how the framework could break.
