Yesterday I uploaded my new module to CPAN. It has some specific test dependency: Test::Mock::LWP::Dispatch. Today I got 17 failed reports from CPAN Testers. All has "Can't locate Test/Mock/LWP/Dispatch.pm in @INC ...". Example.
So, how to specify test dependencies properly? Now my Makefile.PL looks likes this:
WriteMakefile( NAME => 'LWP::UserAgent::Cached', LICENSE => 'perl', VERSION_FROM => 'lib/LWP/UserAgent/Cached.pm', # finds $VERSI +ON PREREQ_PM => { 'LWP::UserAgent' => 0 }, # e.g., Module::Na +me => 1.1 META_MERGE => { resources => {repository => 'https://github.com/olegwtf/p5-LWP-Use +rAgent-Cached'}, test_requires => { 'Test::More' => 0.88, 'Test::Mock::LWP::Dispatch' => 0.02, 'File::Temp' => 0 } }, ($] >= 5.005 ? ## Add these new keywords supported since 5.005 (ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/LWP/UserAgent/Cached.pm', # retrieve abs +tract from module AUTHOR => 'Oleg G <oleg@cpan.org>') : ()), );
But it seems that `test_requires' option doesn't work.
