Test::More has been in core since 5.6. Arguably this means that it should list a minimum perl version. Zev cweyl@alumni.drew.edu via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Certain Linux distributions (Fedora, notably) split the core modules out into their own subpackages... Having Test::More explicitly listed as a dep enables easier packaging for this and other distributions. Admittedly, this is more a RFE than a bug, as systems installing direct from CPAN or using core perl that isn't split will certainly have Test::More installed. Arguably, a package called Test::Dependencies should list all its dependencies, even core ;) -Chris -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia

Too old; closing. Also, completely agree with Zev, Core modules should simply be depended on to be available.
