In my experience, if I've thoroughly tested my module before
uploading it, most of the FAILs from CPAN testers are going to come
from systems beyond my immediate capacity to test, e.g., errors on
OSes that I don't have access to; errors on earlier versions of Perl
that I no longer run; etc.
Other than upgrading to the latest versions of the dependent modules,
running 'make test' on them, then running 'make test' on your own
module, what else are you looking for?
