+tests for these three. Step carefully to avoid using the feature being

Now that basic require() and subroutines are tested, you can use the
F<t/test.pl> library.
-Note, however, that some test scripts still avoid F<t/test.pl> if they test
-features that F<t/test.pl> relies on heavily.

You can also use certain libraries like Config conditionally, but be
sure to skip the test gracefully if it's not there.
