  I think Test::Simple should be marked as a dependency. It really is needed to run the basic tests to confirm the module works. If you need other more esoteric Test::* modules then test scripts which degrade gracefully may be a good idea. Unfortunately, that would not allow you to take the fullest advantage of the the service provided by the wonderful CPAN-Testers team.

  On a related note, many CPAN modules are also repackaged in RPM, .deb and related formats. These files are easier for Joe Public to ins

    Well, I take for granted the fact that all CPAN testers have at least all the Test::* modules installed.

      Yes, but surely that's largely as a result of those modules being listed as prerequisites in the distributions being tested.
