Ah, I didn't realize you were putting tests in there.  I figured you
meant it would give you the objects you wanted to perform tests on --
and that you'd tested that code elsewhere.

The test builder is a singleton, and can only receive one plan.  If you
try using Test::More twice, that will try to make it plan twice, which
will blow it up.

Do you need tests in each module, or just code?

Also -- and I haven't tested this -- consider writing a library that you
require, rather than use, without using any package declaration.  It
will be in the main package, with the test subs available to it, and
will not need to use any test modules on its own.
