Bug#683909: FTBFS: test requires internet connectivity

[Felix Geyer]

Source: libical-parser-sax-perl
Version: 1.09-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch, sid, wheezy
Justification: fails to build from source

This package requires internet connectivity for its test suite
to pass. Package builds should not rely on external network
connectivity, but should be self-contained.

Build.PL has a prompt to enable the http test which is enabled
by default.
Since there is no command line switch for this I'm attaching a patch
that changes the default to disable that test.

Build log:
