This is what Module::Install does when you use 'auto_include'. What I've done for recent modules is to bundle Test::Depends by making it the only build_requires line. Then, from the test scripts I can just; use Test::Depends qw(Some::Module), Other::Module => [ @import_args ]; Of course it means that the test suite doesn't get run fully, but I think the output makes that obvious enough.
