I also always make sure to require a minimum version of Test::More to make sure I have done_testing (unless the module should support perl versions that are too old to have that module version installed).

Next to required modules, you can also add modules that you think are better/safer/faster for your purpose, but not an actual prerequisite.

You can use any of the below described methods to do so, but you can also handcraft META.yml or META.jsn to reflect your desires as recommendations:

requires:
  perl:                 5.006
  Exporter:             0
  Carp:                 0
  Data::Dumper:         0
configure_requires:
  ExtUtils::MakeMaker:  0
build_requires:
  perl:                 5.006
  Test::Harness:        0
  Test::More:           0.88
  Test::NoWarnings:     0
recommends:
  perl:                 5.012002
  File::Temp:           0.22
  IO::Scalar:           0
  Test::More:           0.96

As you can see, both the requirement section and the recommendation section mention Test::More, but with different versions.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
