in reply to Add optional modules to TEST_REQUIRES?

The build processes for Perl modules are driven by Perl scripts and CPAN test smokers are supposed to set the environment variable AUTOMATED_TESTING. The simple answer is to add the extra modules to TEST_REQUIRES iff $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} is set.

    Hi

    cpan testers test cpan modules :)

    perl smokers test builds of perl ;)

    AUTOMATED_TESTING is not the time to decide you want to smoke an extra 15k worth of test files/dependencies...

    If OP wants cpantesters to see what happens with an extra 14k worth of dependencies,

    create a Task (replacement for Bundle) module distribution which requires all 14k depends

    But even cpantesters place time limits on testing distributions, so be prepared to adjust
