No good, its too new.
$ corelist Errno
Errno was first released with perl 5.008001
I suppose I could use something like Text::ParseWords that's been around
since 5.00 and is written in pure Perl so its unlikely to not be
installed, but that's what I thought of Text::Soundex and now its in XS!
What should really happen is a Dummy module should be placed in t/lib
and it should try to load that.

I'd say you have a use for it, to test Test::More. ;) I'm sure other
modules assume Soundex is available and don't bother listing it as a
dependency.
Back when I was a Boy Scout we learned how to cut down the weight of our
pack. They'd tell stories about people who took this a little too far
and would cut the tags off tea bags to save weight. Then they'd scald
themselves trying to get the bag out of their hot tea once its brewed.
If you still really want to clip this tag off I'm not doing the work.
Bring on the patch.
