+B<Note>: The C<eval> protection within the example is due to support for

+not being available on a sufficient portion of production installations of
+Perl. Robust support for such dependency requirements is available in the
+L<CPAN> installer only since version C<1.94_56> first made available for
+production with perl version C<5.12>. It is the belief of the current
+maintainer that support for requirements during the C<configure> build phase
+will not be sufficiently ubiquitous until the B<year 2020> at the earliest,
+hence the extra care demonstrated above. It should also be noted that some
+3rd party installers (e.g. L<cpanminus|App::cpanminus>) do the right thing
+with configure requirements independent from the versions of perl and CPAN
+available.

Some of the less-frequently used features of L<DBIx::Class> have external
module dependencies on their own. In order not to burden the average user
-with modules he will never use, these optional dependencies are not included
+with modules they will never use, these optional dependencies are not included
in the base Makefile.PL. Instead an exception with a descriptive message is
-thrown when a specific feature is missing one or several modules required for
-its operation. This module is the central holding place for the current list
+thrown when a specific feature can't find one or several modules required for
+its operation. This module is the central holding place for the current list
of such dependencies, for DBIx::Class core authors, and DBIx::Class extension
authors alike.

+Dependencies are organized in L<groups|/CURRENT REQUIREMENT GROUPS> where each
+group can list one or more required modules, with an optional minimum version
+(or 0 for any version). The group name can be used in the
+L<public methods|/METHODS> as described below.

This method should be used by DBIx::Class packagers, to get a hashref of all
dependencies keyed by dependency group. Each key (group name) can be supplied
to one of the group-specific methods below.

+This method would normally be used by DBIx::Class core-modules, to indicate to
+the user that they need to install specific modules before being able to use a
+specific feature set.
For example if some of the requirements for C<deploy> are not available,
the returned string could look like:
+EOC
- "SQL::Translator~>=$sqltver" (see $class documentation for details)
+ push @chunks, qq{ "SQL::Translator~>=$sqltver" (see $class documentation for details)};
+ push @chunks, <<'EOC';
The author is expected to prepend the necessary text to this message before
returning the actual error seen by the user.
