When a module relies on Perl::Version to set up $VERSION, something
(vague, I know) will use EU::MM to extract the version, but fail
because the step of building the requirements has not come yet. So even
though Perl::Version has been named as requirement, the distro fails on
Testers due to a perceived lack of requirement in Makefile.PL.

for a complete log. The salient parts are:

MISSING PREREQUISITES:
It was observed that the test suite seem to fail without these modules:
