Uh, okay...

We already depend on bleeding edge everything and its cousin. Let's
not make something as simple as commit emails depend on bleeding edge
Perl too :-).

No, I meant Test::More, which was the one I couldn't find.

Yes, and "Test-More" is not in that list :-). (I think you were
pointing me to Storable, which I already found, thanks.)

Well, I hate to ask you to use a less nice solution, but on the other
hand, right now installing commit-email.pl is kind of a pain. (In
fact, it's impossible until we know the location of Test::More :-) ).
At the very least, we need to give URLs where people can get the
dependencies.

Still, I have to admit the Data::Dumper solution does sound most
attractive right now. Commit emails are kind of important, it would
be nice if they were *really* easy to set up...
