Pardon me, my posix ignorance it showing!

I am curious about something that I have been running into in the posix
shell.  Why do I have to qualify the name of a script to be run with "./"?
If I have the script "test" in the directory "/SYS/CARL/" and I am in the
CARL directory I have to run the test script by typing "./test".  Why can't
I just type "test" and have it run?
