Cannot detect source of 'filename' (when running prove on a non-existent file)

[rfdrake]

This might be something others either ignore or maybe it doesn't happen often enough for anyone to say something. Or it's possible it's been mentioned but wontfix'ed because it breaks the flow of the routines.

I had the occasion to see it a few times when running prove manually from the wrong directory (prove -lv t/testfile.t when working directory was the t/ dir)

I'm not sure where a good place for the check could be, but it would be nice if this was smart enough to say if ( !fileexist && sourcerefundefined ) confess("file/method not found.");

Right now this is the error you get. It's factual but not very helpful.
