Thanks again for doing this!

By my reading, the important bits seem to be Test::Class and maybe IO::All?
If this was cross referenced with dependency data we could see which of these
distributions are secretly linchpins.

This one is interesting, the problematic line is this:

	is( $thing, undef );

$thing is a defined object which stringifies to undef.  If $thing were a plain
undefined value, the above would work.  is() has some special case logic to
compare undefined values, but it no longer stringifies before doing those
special checks.

It looks like YAML::Object has the same issue.  I'm not sure what to do about
that.  I like to encourage is( $foo, undef ) rather than ok( !defined $foo )
because it provides diagnostics.
