+         be obsolete now. The packages that need it apparently also now need
+         Test::More-0.62 which is a core Perl module in an updated version. To
+         install the Test::More-0.62 version you must install the
+         Test::Simple-0.62 module which will overwrite the Perl core stuff.
+         The Test::Simple-0.62 module now includes the Test::Builder::Tester
+         module. Perl versions starting with Perl-5.9.x will have this module
+         include in the core at which time Test::Builder::Tester can be forever
+         removed from this page as it will then also be a core module.

+    <para>The Test::Simple module contains utilities designed to assist
+    developers in creating tests. A version of Test::Simple was installed
+    during LFS with the <application>Perl</application>-&LFS-Perl-version;
+    installation, however, some of the sub-modules contained in Test::Simple
+    have been updated (notably, the Test::More module) and these updated
+    modules are now required by other modules. This updated version of
+    Test::Simple also now includes the Test:Builder:Tester module, required by
+    many of the modules on this page. Note that installing this updated
+    version of Test::Simple will overwrite some files from the original
+    <application>Perl</application> installation, but there's really nothing to
+    be alarmed about as these modules are only used by developers creating
+    tests, or for running the test suites during additional module
+    installations.</para>
