If you can't run the tests, then how do you know that your users can actually use the module?

  It would be nice to separate the test prerequisites and the usage prerequisites.
  
  I've just been told (hi Maddingue [perl.org]!) that Module::Build [cpan.org] allows this (well build_requires is not quite the same as a test_requires, but probably close enough).
