Barney, I understood the point of the ticket to be to get rid of those Perl 5 modules which were part of the Perl 5 core distribution (at least as of our minimum required version, 5.8.0). So those modules that I eliminated -- e.g., Test::Builder, Test::More, Class::Struct -- were those that anyone with a typical Perl 5.8 would already have. Those that remain -- e.g., File::Which, IO::CaptureOutput -- are *non-core*. They are generally small enough that we include them in the Parrot distribution as a convenience to our users. If my understanding is correct, then we can re-close the ticket.
