I think so too, lots of perl modules need Test::Simple for 'make test'
(the ones I remember are Test::Pod and File::Temp?), so IMHO all
Test* modules should be at the top.

$ rpm -q --requires perl-Test-Simple
perl >= 0:5.004
perl >= 0:5.006
perl = 4:5.8.8-40.fc8
perl(Carp)  
perl(Config)  
perl(Exporter)  
perl(Symbol)  
perl(Test::Builder)  
perl(Test::Builder::Module)  
perl(Test::Builder::Tester)  
perl(strict)  
perl(vars)  
perl-devel  

perl-Test-Harness doesn't seem to have any deps, except perl:
$ rpm -q --requires perl-Test-Harness
/usr/bin/perl  

$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Carp)"
perl-5.8.8-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Config)"
perl-5.8.8-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Exporter)"
perl-5.8.8-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Symbol)"
perl-5.8.8-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Test::Builder)"
perl-Test-Simple-0.62-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Test::Builder::Module)"
perl-Test-Simple-0.62-40.fc8
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Test::Builder::Tester)"
perl-Test-Simple-0.62-40.fc8

# rpm -e perl-Test-Harness
error: Failed dependencies:
	perl(Test::Harness) is needed by (installed) perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.36-26.fc9.i386

So I think the installation could go like this:
perl-Test-Harness
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
perl-Test-Simple
