Message:

perl modules branch: add XML-Simple with deps, noting that XML-SAX-Expat is a valid optional dep, it gets used to provide yet another parser, and tests using it are run if it is present. For dependencies in general, comment them where pulled in by another dep, instead of showing everything.
