Re: [Number::Format] Release plans

[Jonas B. N. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi,

According to Module::CoreList (latest and greatest)

Test::More and Test::Simple are where both included in Core  
distribution from: 5.007003 (5.7.3)

if we fall back to using the regular Test module, which is ok, it was  
included in the Core distribution from:  5.005
