Looking some some of NUFFIN's modules, it's probably because he's using raw ExtUtils::MakeMaker (which doesn't natively support anything other than a run-time requires).

@Barbie: Should the module actually be listed as a required dependency if you check for its existence at (test) runtime? I thought that was what the recommended list was for.

In my case, I check at runtime as some functionality can be enabled/disabled by knowing which optional modules are available. This is particularly true for many of the plugin frameworks I've written.

Changed to:



SELECT d.author, count(r.module) AS test_namespace_used_in_runtime_phase

FROM requires r JOIN distribution d ON r.distribution = d.distribution

WHERE r.module LIKE 'Test::%'

AND r.phase = 'runtime'

AND r.distribution NOT LIKE 'Test%'

GROUP BY d.author

ORDER BY test_namespace_used_in_runtime_phase DESC

LIMIT 20

Results:

One minor improvement to this would be to ignore any dependencies where the source isn't Test (So that you factor out Test -> Test deps).

So perhaps add in a

r.distribution NOT LIKE '%Test'
