No, hence making it optional via eval { }. That way we can get more
useful output from the buildfarm (and Travis) by installing it there,
without imposing extra dependencies on end users.
We already depend on one non-core module (IPC::Run), so presumably we
could add others, but I presume the threshold for that is quite high.
