  At the end of every test, report %INC and at the end of the test run, report every module in %INC, which version is was released with and if it's not core, check if it's listed as a dependency.

  Perhaps this could be done with a special test target, but I think this is a brillant solution.

    I was thinking about a test target, though I'm unsure of how to remotely capture %INC. I'm wondering if it's something that would have to be built into each of the tests?

    Now that I stop to think about it, it would be trivial to write a simple Test::More wrapper that Module::Build could load. This would only work with tests which use Test::More, but that would cover the vast majority of them.

    how could you stop it from reporting the wrong result for

    eval { require Optional::Module; }
    if ($@) {
        # we don't have the module, but we can survive without it..
    }
