It also means that I don't have to worry about p5p removing modules from core at a later date.

I wholeheartedly agree with this (listing current core modules as dependencies explicitly).

    Explicitly listing core modules as dependencies has another benefit: CPAN Testers smokeboxes will report the versions of all modules declared as dependencies. While "core only" modules have versions that can be inferred from Perl's version, many modules are now "dual life" and could be updated separately from the Perl core in an installation. Listing them all as dependencies will cause the versions actually used to appear in CPAN test reports.
