So in order to make everything work robustly, distros should

basically, I agree completely, with the possible exception of modules
that are in the Perl core - the standard libraries. On the otehr
hand, if a specific version of a standard library is required then it
most certainly should be listed, for example:
# In Something.pm
use File::HomeDir 0.66;
and
# In Makefile.PL
PREREQ_PM => { 'File::HomeDir' => '0.66' },
