1. Should I require an indirect perquisite?
2. Should SUPER.pm require it? (Well it actually does require it, so I think we can continue to 3.) 3. Should the testing machine have installed it, as soon as it installs SUPER.pm

May be I have not got the point of use, require and prerequisites yet, but as of my present understanding, it is NOT the idea to require indirect prerequisites (something that a module I already require requires).

Please let me know what you think about this.

I think that, in your Makefile.PL, WriteMakefile() should specify 'SUPER' => 0 in PREREQ_PM (assuming, of course, that *any* version of SUPER will suffice). However, I'm not sure if that's going to fix the problem in this particular instance.
AFAICT, it's not your fault if it doesn't - let us know how it goes.

Also, check for any other non-core modules that your distro explicitly uses, and make sure they're in PREREQ_PM. (There may not be any others - I haven't looked.)

Cheers,
Rob
