Is it ok for a CPAN module to use other modules from CPAN only for the
test scripts (e.g. "Text::Diff")?
Yes. See http://phalanx.kwiki.org/index.cgi?StandardDotTFiles for
examples of .t files that only run if a certain module is installed.

Hi!

This can be surprising in things like

Okay,
Now that I've largely accepted junctions (except implicit autothreading,
which is Bad.), I see some corners that need to be poked at in terms of
how they fit into the language as a whole.
All of these examples assume an appropriate level of "use junctions;" is
in effect.
