Quoth Makefile.PL:
( $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION < 6.63_03 ? 'BUILD_REQUIRES' : 'TEST_REQUIRES' ) => {
'Test::More' => '0.88',
'Test::Tester' => $tt_prereq,
},
BUILD_REQUIRES was added in 6.55_01. If the version of EUMM is less than that (any default installation of 5.10.0 or lower with no EUMM upgrade), then Test::Tester fails to get declared as a prerequisite.
