File::Basename has been in core since 5.0

Yeah, maybe the perl is a vendor perl without it? I don't know why it
has no File::Basename. Maybe somebody uninstalled it?

I see dependency declarations as something that should not assume
anything about the target system, just declare what needs to be
available. In any case it can't hurt to have what seems like a redundant
declaration because if anything changes in what you may assume about the
target system, the declaration will try to defend the build.

I don't have any issue with listing it as a prereq, but it seems unlikely to fix that test report. File::Basename is core only, so it can never be fulfilled through CPAN.

Oh, this coreonlyness is what I wasn't aware of. In this case I agree with you.
