Another thing to take a look at is the Test::RequiresInternet module (https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::RequiresInternet <https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::RequiresInternet>) or Test2::Require::Internet (https://metacpan.org/pod/Test2::Require::Internet <https://metacpan.org/pod/Test2::Require::Internet>), which will help ensure that the machine you're testing on can access the Internet addresses the test requires. You may also want to consider mocking out the actual connection to the Internet using a module like Mock::MonkeyPatch (https://metacpan.org/pod/Mock::MonkeyPatch <https://metacpan.org/pod/Mock::MonkeyPatch>) or Test::MockObject (https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::MockObject <https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::MockObject>). That way your tests can run on a machine that doesn't connect to the Internet. Finally, this test report has a lot of "uninitialized value" warnings, which leads me to believe you might not be checking the HTTP response or validating your data well enough. You could consider logging some output to STDERR when testing, and Log::Any (https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any <https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any>) is a nice, lightweight solution for that, though the `diag` function from Test::More is also great for this. With enough information in the report, it becomes much easier to figure out what went wrong without having to contact the tester about it. Good luck! Doug Bell d...@preaction.me
