Parag, I don't understand what you don't understand:

Your log shows this:

t/0_pod.............skipped
        all skipped: Test::Pod not installed
t/0_pod_coverage....skipped
        all skipped: Test::Pod::Coverage not installed

This means, the tests have not been fully excercised, because some optional
modules were missing when building. 

Note: These modules are optional. 

So far, it has been our policy to "test to the maximum, when possible" (In
practice, inside of the buildsys, i.e. everything but network access or some
cases of database access)

I.e. to let the testsuite excercise these checks, you'd have to BR: these tests'
infrastructure.

I don't fully understand what you are trying to say, the principle of most perl
modules' testsuites (and most testsuites in general), is to run
"non-interactive, non-supervised" and only warn about those cases when something
is missing.

I.e. if you want larger test coverage but some "minimal tests", you'll have to
configure a testsuite and your system in advance to running it. In case of a
perl module, these BR: ... means to "taylor the system for the testsuite" in
advance to running a testsuite.
