Interesting case … We have

% cat debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-env
NO_NETWORK_TESTING=1

(and also in debian/rules) but the failing test is use.t, which
respects NO_NETWORK_TESTING but we have no way to set it in our
framework. (And the module tries to connect to www.google.com at port
80 without further parameters.)

I have no other idea than to skip use.t …
