Its a bug in Test::More. It only puts itself into the core libraries if it
thinks it was shipped with that Perl version. However I was relying on
Module::CoreList and...
$ corelist Test::More
Test::More was first released with perl 5.007003
Apparently Module::CoreList does it by release date not version.
