I do recommend restricting those AUTOMATED_TESTING or AUTHOR_TESTING.
There's also the core-only approach like is used in HTTP::Tiny:

Is there any code which is considered "best practice" for "skip_all

For the first time I want to write a library whose tests will
benefit from connection to an FTP server. If there is some code
that I could just drop in for situations where the test suite is run
offline, that would be helpful.
Thank you very much.

I ended up going with both Test::RequiresInternet and an envvar named
PERL_ALLOW_NETWORK_TESTING normally set to off. So time-consuming tests
will only be attempted if there's a network connection and if the user
wants to run tests which attempt that connection.
Thank you very much.
