Ovid has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Working on a proper distribution package for a module and was thinking about the tests that need to be written. I've pretty much stuck to standard modules for the module, but I've repeatedly seen new Monks say things like "We don't have [insert ubiquitous module name here] installed on our server. Is it overkill to write tests to see if they are there?

Cheers,
Ovid
