No it doesn't... This is one of those things about perl - code that
looks like a function call is never checked to see if the function
exists until runtime:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Here I have started running now\n";
foobarsplot();
^-- won't complain until runtime.
That's what gave me the motivation to write B::LintSubs, by the way:
http://search.cpan.org/~pevans/B-LintSubs-0.02/
I just forgot that SKIP actually doesn't execute the code (I was
thinking it just marked the test results as to be ignored).

Yes; but Test::More seems to be installed as part of whatever the
testing core is on various things that automatically test my CPAN
modules. I note whenever I upload something, lots of machines around the
world manage to automatically test it. I use Test::More everywhere and
they can cope.
I use whatever test modules I feel like (for example I always use
Test::NoWarnings) and the same machines test my modules without
problems. The automatic testing tools install whatever deps are
necessary (assuming they're listed as deps in Makefile.PL). Are you
seeing brokenness or are you just expecting it?

EU::MM can't, but I believe Module::Build can. That said, the consensus
on #perl/Freenode is that the latter isn't really ready yet, so just use
the former. Ho hum..
