Contacted upstream. 

"
First, and just to be clear: I'm just the current maintainer of  
Net::Pcap, I didn't wrote most of the XS code so there may be some  
bugs and it may be hard for me to correct them as I barely speak XS.  
What I really did with Net::Pcap was to improve the documentation,  
rewrite a full test suite, and implement the recent libpcap features.

The unexpected success is quite expected: the tests are marked as  
TODO because the results don't always correspond to what I expect (or  
strangely produce good results where I expected them not to). AFAICT,  
these small discrepancies are present since a very long time but only  
appear now because I wrote the code to fully test Net::Pcap. As  
nobody have ever shown up asking for this, this means that either no  
one has noticed or that no one is using Net::Pcap :-)

To sum up, unless you have some copious spare time to spend chasing  
this bug, I'd suggest to simply ignore it for now.

Don't hesitate to ask me if you have other questions or tell how I  
can ease your packaging work.
