I find dzil to be a huge help when I code, so much that the lack of dzil on some of my older CPAN modules makes me not want to work on them.
With that said, I'm very sympathetic to the experience of trying to patch a dzil-using module; it can be a real hassle to reach that point. Would it help if the README or some piece of documentation somewhere (if not README, then what?) said that it's okay to use prove to run the tests, and that any patches can safely ignore dzil if you don't want to use it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
