It's optional but we generally include optional dependencies, at least until such time as soft dependencies can be used. Without it, I'm seeing this in MouseX::SimpleConfig's test suite: $ make test RELEASE_TESTING=1 PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/00-compile.t .................. skipped: no tests to run t/01use.t ....................... ok t/10simple.t .................... ok t/11default.t ................... ok t/12config_any_args.t ........... ok t/author-critic.t ............... skipped: these tests are for testing by the author t/multiple.t .................... ok t/release-check-changes.t ....... ok # Test::Pod::Content required to test POD version consistency # Distribution version: 0.11 t/release-consistent-version.t .. ok # Unable to parse MANIFEST.SKIP file: # No such file or directory # Using default skip data from ExtUtils::Manifest 1.63 t/release-dist-manifest.t ....... ok t/release-distmeta.t ............ ok t/release-eol.t ................. ok t/release-has-version.t ......... ok t/release-kwalitee.t ............ ok t/release-minimum-version.t ..... ok t/release-no-tabs.t ............. ok t/release-pod-coverage.t ........ ok t/release-pod-syntax.t .......... ok t/release-portability.t ......... ok t/release-unused-vars.t ......... ok All tests successful.

Would you be interested in building this and its deps for EPEL-7? If not, I'll be happy to take it.
I don't use RHEL so I'ld rather someone else handle it.
OK, I've requested EPEL7 branches on the wiki. When they're done, you can transfer ownership to me: $ pkgdb-cli unorphan --owner pghmcfc perl-Test-Pod-Content epel7 $ pkgdb-cli unorphan --owner pghmcfc perl-Test-ConsistentVersion epel7 (pkgdb-cli is from the packagedb-cli package)

I'll do this over the weekend. I've done the fix in the epel7 branch; you can fast-forward merge that into master for a quick fix if you like.
Done. This will show up in the next rawhide push.
