Where do you see that Test::Exception has 17 dependencies? Its only non-core dependency is Sub::Uplevel, which has no non-core dependencies.

    Did you bother to click on the link? It looks like 7 of 17 dependencies are non-core, but maybe you and cpandeps have different definitions of "core."

        Both 5.8.9 and 5.10.0 are very recent releases. There are *plenty* of people still using 5.8.8, because 5.8.8 was, for a very long time, the most recent version of perl.

        When you say similar things about people still using perl 5.6 then you do at least have a valid point. But saying that about 5.8.8 seems just crazy.

        So everyone using the current release of Mac OS X should install their own Perl to use Moose?
        % perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

      You're both right, sort of.

      The latest Test::Exception depends on a minimum of (for example) Test::More 0.70, which is only in core if you are running perl 5.10.
