Hi there:
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I use build_requires (and
Module::Build) - it seems to do the trick for me. For the author
tests, I put them in 'recommended'.
It's worth noting that the team that packages Perl modules for Debian
moves all requirements to basically
WHEREAS, Number::Format uses POSIX for locale stuff, and
WHEREAS, locale is b0rked on so many systems out there, and
WHEREAS, Number::Format is constantly getting barraged by bug
complaints and CPAN build failure emails, and
WHEREAS, I'm getting tired of the above and can't do much about it,

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that I'm seriously considering to take out
Locale support from Number::Format and make it configured manually.
Perhaps there may be a little locale support left in to set defaults,
but only if locale isn't b0rked on
