Subject: remove test.pl, make prerequisites fatal
If the test is not gonna test the module, then it shouldn't be a test at all, please remove it (fake tests are worse than no tests). pass the boolean option PREREQ_FATAL => 1, to ExtUtils::MakeMaker's WriteMakefile in Makefile.PL, that way it dies if B::Generate is not available

Please never use PREREQ_FATAL. See the ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation.
