Folks, One of the problems I have with using Test::Builder is that I want to distribute packages to systems that do not (necessarily) have a decent version of Test::* installed. Now it is easy to include a copy of a suitable version of Test::Builder with the package (provided it is not too big). Would it be a good idea to add a provision to Test::Builder that can be called, from the Makefile.PL, to display a message like this:
The verificiation tests for this package require the Test::Builder package of at least version X.Y. You do not seem to have this installed. I have included a copy of Test::Builder in this distribution that I can use for testing. Do you want me to install this version of Test::Builder as well? This would help spreading the good stuff. -- Johan PS: Nice talk, Schwern.
