On the virgin OS out of the box, Test2 module is in the included Perl 
but its version is 1.302162 (at least on 13.3.1). But if you look at the 
file /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.30/Test2/Plugin/NoWarnings.pm, line 9 is

use Test2 1.302167;

One would think that if the OS supplied bundle has a Perl module that 
requires at minimum version of another module, the required module would 
be that version or later. Not the case. The key here is until doing this 
testing ** no other additional perl modules were installed **.

Either 13.4 has more recent modules in the OS supplied Perl, or you 
updated Test2 at some point in the past.

I probably should have add the output of

perl -MTest2 -e 'print "$Test2::VERSION\n"'

in my comment, but before I installed *any* additional modules, it was 
1.302162 as noted above.

I didn't want remove the OS supplied Test2::Plugin::NoWarnings, but I 
would bet reinstalling it would trigger the correct dependency of Test2 
also getting installed. The 0.09 version already installed/included is 
the most current release.
