I think David hit the nail right on the head. Given what the Test::* modules are for, I think that this is common. And since they're small and won't waste much in the way of resources once they've been installed, I personally think it's no big deal to install them. Just install the things. They're small and you only have to do it once. A CPAN shell will automate the process so it's rather moot. And if you're not using a CPAN shell every module install is going to be a chore anyway. -- Michael G.
