Subject: tests should skip using the network by default
use the variables AUTHOR_TESTING, RELEASE_TESTING or NETWORK_TESTING to run these tests (all variables off by default), or use Test::RequiresInternet as a guard. (some smokers have complained. network tests should always be off by default.)

For me on OSX, it's pretty obvious that this is happening because I get a modal dialog box asking if I want to allow "perl" to accept incoming network connections. (This is also configurable in the "Security" System Preference pane, in the "Firewall" tab.)
