Speaking of which, what's up with stuff like this:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/189819
It complains that I don't list Params::Validate as a PREREQ_PM. I do
list
DateTime as a prereq, and I never use Params::Validate directly. Only
DateTime uses it. So is this testing machine just broken or what?
I believe it's using a heuristic - if the output looks like "Can't
locate Foo/Bar.pm", then it assumes you're missing a dependency. In
this case that heuristic failed.
Be glad you didn't get this report (I did):

Even more stupid than the one you got, but [apparently] generated by a
human.
