Subject: Randomize loading order
Loading a module usually has side effects such as loading other modules. Some modules may have a missing 'use' statement that is not visible if another previously loaded module has already loaded the dependency. Test::Compile currently use a fixed order (alaphabetic sorted), so it may hide some problems. A randomized load ordering would help to detect such cases. -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN

I don't see how the ordering should matter, given that a new perl is used to load each file? There should be no interaction between the testing of each module.

As a new perl is used, you're right. No interaction is possible.
Closing.
