Is Moose needed as a prerequisite?

[robrwo]

Shouldn't Moose be a test prereq?

[JJ]

It's already a build prereq. What do you mean?

[robrwo]

It's not needed for building or running, only for tests. It should be a recommended test prereq so that the test skips if Moose is not installed.

Does ExtUtils::MakeMaker have a way to declare recommended test prereqs?

[robrwo]

Well, at the minimum Moose could be moved from PREREQ_PM to TEST_REQUIRES.

But you may be able to change the META_MERGE for

  prereqs => {
    "recommends" => {  "Moose" => 0 },
  }
