I would say we just lose the parser dependency and require it only for authors running Makefile.PL, while updating the files in-flight (using the DATA fh maybe). This way: A) we know parsers are up-to date, because a tarball can not be shipped without regeneration B) we know parsers are consistent and do not depend on what the next version of PRD will do (remember the huge uninit messages?)
