From what I've seen, the most common cause of this is that the
package is untestable with the current build configuration. Eg; you
needed
to specify a webserver or database or something to get these tests to
run.
Apache::Test provides some hooks for autotesters to configure
themselves to
test packages using it, IMHO setting DBI_DSN etc should be enough for
packages that test against a database.
Note that there is also the case where the module need administrator
privileges to execute parts of its test suite and the author put some
effort to skip all the tests that can't be run because the user running
the installation doesn't have the required rights (I'm thinking very
loud about Net::Pcap if you haven't guessed :)
