MooseX::Types should include Test::Moose as a test_requires. While Test::Moose is indeed bundled with Moose, some distributions (e.g. Fedora) split test modules out into distinct sub-packages to reduce the number of dependencies installed for those simply wanting to run a program that needs the module, rather than test/develop Perl. As such, Test::Moose is in its own subpackage and a dependency on Moose does not cause it to be installed as well. Adding Test::Moose as a test_requires will make it easier for automated packaging / build tools to package (and update!) this module. Thanks! :)
