Yeah, I already knew this, the reason is more or less just laziness on my part. I'll try to do something about it in future releases I upload to CPAN. By the way, in my experience a lot of other CPAN distributions have the same issue; especially commonly omitted dependencies include modules that are included in some versions of "core" perl. Perhaps this is a sign of that these things should be more prominently documented in depth somewhere where people are likely to find the info?
