I would like to see Test::MockModule as an optional dependency, at least, and I
think there is a strong argument for making it a required dependency. My plan
for the Test::WWW::Mechanize tests is to add a t/www directory for all the
tests that require a configured installation. If there is a concern with
Test::MockModule, perhaps we should have a t/mock directory for those tests?

Test::MockModule is used for selectively overriding methods for testing. This
could be used to write unit tests that test both MARC21 and UNIMARC in one run,
for example.
