--- Comment #7 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
In my opinion, cpanspec should not add recommended modules to dependencies.
However it should put them into the spec file as a comment. Reason is
following:

There are various ways how Perl code can make a dependency optional. Some of
them lead to program crash (if ($foo) { require Bar }). I tend to handle these
cases as a hard dependencies at RPM level because packaged code should not die
due to missing dependency. Only a packager can evaluate this problem properly.
So the recommended modules should be written as a comment to strike the
packager when reviewing the cpanspec output.
