Moin,
you are in a maze of Test modules, all looking alike. You are likely being

One of the problems with dependency checking is dealing with a module
that optionally uses other modules. For instance a module might have
drivers for a bunch of different backends, each of which is optional.
For instance, CGI::Session or Class::DBI::Loader.
Such a relationship, even though not
