Agreed. See the earlier advice about the inc/ directory so you can
bundle,

Hmm.

Yes. Just declare them as dependencies.
First, I'm not sure about the usage policy. May

Up to you. The way I look at it, if you have one dependency it doesn't
hurt to have another. Either they're using a CPAN

Is it ok for a CPAN module to use other modules from CPAN only for the
test scripts (e.g. "Text::Diff")?
Yes. See http://phalanx.kwiki.org/index.cgi?StandardDotTFiles for
examples of .t files that only run if a certain module is installed.

Hi!
General testing question:
Is it ok for a CPAN module to use other modules from CPAN only for the
test scripts (e.g. "Text::Diff")?
First, I'm not sure about the usage policy. Maybe it's more common to
write tests more "low level".
Second, I know there is a "build_requires" option in Build.P
