The new IPC stuff doesn't work without Storable or Sereal. Storable is part of the standard library since Perl 5.8, so we'll put a hard dependency on it for distros that package it separately. Data::Dumper is also part of the standard library, and PublicInbox::MboxReader uses it, and it's frequently useful during development. We'll also trim down INSTALL for standard library modules so it's hopefully less daunting for new users. Development dependencies are noted in HACKING, now. Email::MIME is only used for maintainer tests, so it's only documented in HACKING.
