Good start.  In order to set the groundwork for the future, I suggest
changing the structure a bit to something like this:

our $DEP_MODULES = {
   'Algorithm::CheckDigits' => { minVersion => 0.50 },
  'Authen::CAS::Client' => { minVersion => 0.05 },
...

and writing a routine to generate the PREREQ_PM hash needed by
Makefile.PL.  Why the change?  So we can do this later:

our $DEP_MODULES = {
   'Algorithm::CheckDigits' => {
       minVersion => 0.50,
       required => 1,
       packages => { debian => ... , opensuse => .... },
   },
   'Authen::CAS::Client' => {
      minVersion => 0.05,
      required => 0,
      supportsFeature => 'cas_authentication',
   },
... &c.
