Your test modules should go into t/lib/Test/Foo/Bar.pm and you should do a "use lib 't/lib'" in your .t files s/should/can/ - installing test modules can be a good thing if they can be useful for people sub-classing your code.	[reply]

People subclassing your code should look at your distribution for how to test it. In that case, they'll find your test classes. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

People subclassing your code should look at your distribution for how to test it. Again - I question "should". They don't have to look to my distribution to figure out how to code the subclass - why should they need to do so to figure out how to test it? Especially now that testing is a more central part of development for many people.	[reply]

dragonchild wrote test modules should go into t/lib/Test/Foo/Bar.pm. In the "better late than never" category, I figured I should mention a slight problem with this. That path should actually be something like `t/lib/Tests` to avoid potential conflicts with the the `Test::` namespace. I speak from painful experience when I named a base testing class Test::Base.
