Module::Install's requires_external_bin is one:
http://search.cpan.org/~ether/Module-Install-1.18/lib/Module/Install.pod#requires_external_bin
But the bar to add a new module dependency is high.

Another trick that you could use is to attempt to run it, see if it is
present by checking for 127 sounds fragile though, for Windows
particularly, and otherwise skip the test.
