Remove Makefile from MANIFEST. That's the only critical thing.
Maybe avoid using a nonstandard module in the test script. Perhaps
just skip the tests if it isn't installed, using something like:
BEGIN {
eval { require Test::More; };
if ($@) {
print "# this test requires the Test::More module.\n1..0\n";
exit;
}
}
use Test::More tests => 14;
...
This satisfies the "test suite protocol" with "1..0". It's what
produces the "skipping test on this platform" message from
Test::Harness if you create a "t" directory and rename test.pl
t/foo.t. (Useful if you write too many tests for one script.)
