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

I've looked at:
man Module::Build::Authoring man Module::Build::Cookbook
.but still am not sure of the best place in  Build.PL to list modules that are used only in t/*.t. In my *.t files non standard modules are guarded like:
use Test::More; # in Build.PL::build_requires eval 'use Test::Do::Funky:Chicken;' if ($@){ plan skip_all => 'Test::Funky::Chicken needed'; }else{ plan tests => 99; }

I am tending toward the recommends section.

Advice ?

UPDATE: fixed eval per ysth kind and helpful advice.
