The file that I uploaded is a set of patches for the stable (5.8.0) perl
source distribute so isn't a module.  Its not the sort of thing I would
expect would fall into your automated testing suite as the dependancies
are huge.  It requires a specific perl distribution source tree, a
cross-compilation toolchain for the arm platform etc...

Is there any way to exempt an upload from this testing? or should I just
ignore the test results that come back.

Conceavably I could install some basic testing (such as testing the
integrity of the files, checking the patches apply cleanly etc).  At the
moment this is done at compile-time.

Sadly, cross-compiling testing is evil and almost impossible.  Even
perl's "make test" will always fail.
