This field is the name of the distribution. This is often created by
taking the "main package" in the distribution and changing C<::> to

dependency, the use of C<optional_feature> is discouraged. Instead,
create a separate, installable distribution that ensures the desired

release a separate C<Foo-Bar-Baz> distribution that satisfies
requirements for the feature.

Another subtle error that can occur in resolving prerequisites comes from
the way that modules in prerequisites are indexed to distribution files on
CPAN. When a module is deleted from a distribution, prerequisites calling
