I generally try out each release on a variety of setups, some with all
the prerequisites and some without.  It's probably not a bad idea to put
the prerequisites in the INSTALL as well as the Makefile.PL, though, thanks.

These lines and the others like them are actually how "the system" does
suggest installing its prerequisites.  The bulk of the work in
Makefile.PL is done by ExtUtils::MakeMaker, if you want to look at the
documentation there.  ExtUtils::MakeMaker is currently the recommended
way of making Makefiles, as far as I know, but there are other projects
underway to replace it, for example Module::Build (but I am currently
having a bit of trouble with that, and it is only in very early
versions).
