I am trying to specify a pre-req that needs to be present for
my module to work.
I have it under the PREREQ_PM section next in my Makefile.PL
as well as under the BUILD_REQUIRES section.
I'm not sure I specified the version correctly -- I note that
Test::Simple, has a floating point version, while mine has
a string '0.3.2'.
You should specify such versions as 'v0.3.2'. Without the v the
vstring/version object logic doesn't kick in.

Which file(a) does MakeMaker use?
Or does it produce meta.yml & mymeta.{json,yml}? (caps were approp.)
The mymeta ones both had any place I specified
a '1.2.3' changed to: v1.2.3, which I wondered about --
but this wasn't done in the META.yml, where the quotes were
stripped off.
This was in ExtUtils:MM 6.36
While that might be the only problem, the fact that
even the test checks for the header and shouldn't start
the tests if the prereq isn't there --- but that's not what
I see in the output...it's like the BEGIN stuff isn't even run.
I can upgrade /put-dependency for the later version of
EU::MM, but can't really test it locally -- since it did the
right thing locally, in that the test prog DID pull down
the prereq when the "make " did not, but the CPAN test
reports don't match and/or don't seem to be doing the same.
Maybe I should write a test for the pre-reqs being callable
and fail if they aren't? *sigh*
