Put your production code in lib/MyModule.pm and script/myscript.pl
(Where myscript.pl parses the command-line flags and then call MyModule)
Then put your tests into t/*.t
One test can "use MyModule" and run a variety of tests upon it.
Another test can create a fake MyModule for myscript.pl to hit, and then 
call myscript.pl with a variety of parameters to check how they are handled.
