Hi Joe -

I'm glad you agree that this will be useful.

I am concerned about the dependency on Mech. It's not an insignificant
dependency, though I think it is pure perl. I don't think it should be
a real dependency, though, because you only need it if you want to
submit test reports. That's not something that most users will want to
do. It's just like Perl::Tidy, which can be used by some tests in the
xt directory. But, I don't think we have a way to keep track of
optional dependencies, though.

Do you have any thoughts on how we solve this problem gracefully?

Thanks!
