Core modules? I was using File::Basename and FindBin recently.  That
felt very old-school. I decided to use explicit export lists:

use FindBin '$Bin';
use File::Basename qw( basename dirname );

though an argument could also be made for fully qualified names:

use FindBin (); # () prevents it from importing, so it doesn't junk up
your namespace
use File::Basename ();

my $path = $FindBin::Bin
my $dir = File::Basename::dirname($path);

And of course I use the living daylights out of Test::More on a daily
basis. Don't we all? =)
