Well, that's the thing. I had to install it on the test boxes I'm currently developing the code on - I didn't want to upload it to PAUSE then find that all the automatic test boxes all fail it because of a missing Test:: module. That said, I know Test::More isn't core, yet all my tests use that without declaring it, so maybe it would work. I guess the core problem here is really a lack of build-time dependency tracking in EU::MM; which I have suggested here: http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=24159 Maybe I might even get around to fixing it... -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
