Someone did and today's results were still a fail.

Please, note that autopkgtest setup is different from the usual
test environment for Perl modules, i.e. you only have the binary
packages installed and the tests, no other build context is
available. Thus, successfully running "make test" after building
the module doesn't mean that autopkgtest will pass those tests
too.

You can find the setup details for Debian in
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/autopkgtest.html#SETUP

You may need to adapt them a bit to run autopkgtest locally for
Ubuntu, but I think it should work fine to reproduce the fail.
The --shell-fail option for autopkgtest should help with the
debugging of this issue.

Cheers,
Alex
