Depending on Test::Class

Hi. I notice that you module is depending on Test::Class. Test:Class have a high test failure rate, and this means that a lot of the people that want to install you module won't be able to. Worse, you can't even see this failures in your CPAN testers reports, as dependency fail is not reported. Can you please fix that? Thanks, Shmuel.

What do you mean by "high test failure rate"? I've checked its RT and it has no serious bugs open, and I've never seen it fail for unclear reasons either. If you're seeing tests fail, just report them here, chances are it's my fault. cheers, Matthias

Hi. If you will visit https://metacpan.org/module/Test::Class, on the left side there are "Test Results". The numbers there marks 32 failures, that is pretty high for a module. Absolutely not your fault. But you depend on that module, and when a user will try to install your module, CPAN will stop the installation if it could not install Test::Class.
