Hi: Well, the problem is that the modules specified in Perl core vary from version to version.
For example the version.pm module is NOW Perl Core for 5.10; but was not for previous versions. So when you're developing your module on Perl 5.10 but distributing to other (possibly lower versions) targets, then you will need to include what /your/ Perl Core includes too. I don't think there's anything wrong with having Core modules as prerequisite, because then they'll be quickly found and the script will move along happily. Also, I'm pleased Test::Apocalypse is being packaged, since my module (Test::DistManifest) will be packaged as well, at a later date (when the upstream dependency, Module::Manifest, has been fixed). Thanks for your work!
