It's a bit complicated, but I think I've figgered it out. Details
below.

Every night I run a script which finds a list of all the distributions
uploaded to the CPAN the previous day. I then run:
.../perl-$version/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install("$distribution")'
for two different versions of perl on Linux and one on OpenBSD (I'll add
more platforms later as well). At the start of each test run, the
perl-$version directory is extracted from a tarball of a clean, virgin
freshly-compiled perl with no extra modules installed. Then when
testing and installing your distribution, I follow and install (if
possible) the pre-requisites.
In your case, I did install the pre-reqs, and I can see that CQL::Parser
passed its tests OK, and got installed *for the version of perl I use in
testing*.
Then in your test suite, I ran t/QueryFilter.t, which fork()ed and
exec()ed bin/run_QF.pl. That script, however, has a shebang line
#!/usr/bin/perl which is not the build of perl that I'd installed your
pre-reqs for. It in turn knew where to find Alvis::QueryFilter under my
.../.cpan directory (cos CPAN.pm sets $ENV{PERL5LIB} during testing) but
couldn't find CQL::Parser because I'd not installed that for OpenBSD's
own version of perl.
Consequently, run_QF.pl spat an error, which the test suite picked up.
This is *not* just a problem that arises because of the way I'm testing.
It can, for example, also occur if someone is installing your module
using their own /usr/local/bin/perl, or /opt/perl/bin/perl, or anything
that's not /usr/bin/perl.
Thankfully, the fix is easy. You should be able to change run_QF.pl to
get rid of the shebang line and instead exec() it like:
exec("$^X -w bin/runQF.pl --testquery t/test");
$^X is one of perl's magic internal variables, and gives you the full
path and name for the interpreter.
I hope that helps. If you upload a new version to the CPAN then I
should pick it up within a day or so and test it again. I only notify
authors of failures, so please check the cpan-testers mailing list
archive for the email saying that it PASSed - if you can't find it there
after a few days, let me know and I'll run the tests again and make sure
to let you know what happens.
