 So it's just List::Util and Test::More. But I don't understand why upt
 says it can't find them when they're right there on metacpan. Is upt
 looking at a different web site?

 `upt` is looking at `https://fastapi.metacpan.org/v1/release/<name>`,
 where `name` is the package name that has the `::` replaced by `-`. I'm by
 no means a Perl expert, but it seems to me the issue here is that
 `List::Utils` is not the actual package name, but a module provided by
 `Scalar-List-Utils`; so that's likely what you'll need to package.

 Regarding the varying error message - I cannot really remember anymore
 from a few summers ago, but the recursive option might not be
 deterministic (i.e., it appears to check the dependencies in a semi-random
 order). One could look into that to find out if that's indeed true and fix
 it.
