Steve,

Would you consider re-naming the /tests/ directory to /t/ to match
standard CPAN directory layout?

http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/cvs/renaming-files.html

This will mean that checkouts should be made with -P.  This is a
standard mechanism used with large projects, such as gnome and many
sourceforge repositories prior to the move to subversion.

I recommend moving to subversion to avoid the complication.

Cheers,

C.J.
