No disagreement for removing the doc requirement for Net::SMTP::SSL.

But core modules can be split out by OS packagers.  For
Fedora/RH-based systems, the trend tends to be increasing
granularity and having more optional packages.

So I think documenting Net::SMTP (and Net::Domain) as
requirements would still be good, perhaps with a note stating
they're typically installed with Perl.

Fwiw, I recently ran into some issues where core modules such as
Devel::Peek, Encode, and autodie were separate packages on CentOS 7.
