How to unit test if "." is not on #INC? - perl

Question

I used Module::Starter to create the skeleton of a module, and one of the test files it creates ("t/00-load.t") looks like this:
#!perl -T
use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
plan tests => 1;
BEGIN {
use_ok( 'My::Module' ) || print "Bail out!\n";
}
But when I run make && make test, this test fails because turning on taint mode ("perl -T") removes "." from #INC, so that My::Module is not found. I can see the value of turning on taint checking in general, but how am I supposed to then test this code? This is the error message that's output:
# Failed test 'use My::Module;'
# at t/00-load.t line 10.
# Tried to use 'My::Module'.
# Error: Can't locate My/Module.pm in #INC (#INC contains:
# /Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level
# /Library/Perl/5.16
# /Network/Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level
# /Network/Library/Perl/5.16
# /Library/Perl/Updates/5.16.2/darwin-thread-multi-2level

# /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16) at (eval 4) line 2.
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 2.
This is on perl 5.16.1, with Module::Starter 1.62 and ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.86. The skeleton was created with "module-starter --module=My::Module", so using defaults for everything else.

When the module is created with Module::Starter, which in turn relies on MakeMaker (or Module::Build), then all building and testing should be done via the provided Makefile (or Build file, if using Module::Build). I.e., with make && make test or ./Build && ./Build test.
