Bug #104769 for Test-Timer: Unnecessary runtime dependency on Test::Tester

Subject:

Unnecessary runtime dependency on Test::Tester

Test::Tester is marked as a normal runtime dependency https://metacpan.org/source/JONASBN/Test-Timer-0.09/Build.PL#L17 The only place I can see it being used is in t/test-tester.t; this surely should make it merely a test_requires instead of a full-blown requires. This causes a .deb wrapped package to be marked as requiring libtest-tester-perl, when that would be unnecessary. -- Paul Evans

I attempted to address this is release 0.10, I am not sure it worked. However I revisited in conjunction with the addressing of github issue #3, which resulted in release 0.11. Build.PL which is auto-generated now lists Test::Tester in test_requires, but also in the fallback used for Module::Build of a specific version, so this might cause grief. The same goes for the auto-generated Makefile.PL. In META.yml Test::Tester is listed in: build_requires only so that should be okay. If you get the time/chance can you get back to me if the issue was fixed? jonasbn
