Please don't allow pod, critic or kwalitee tests to run for normal user installs, as they make the installation fail unnecessarily when newer versions of the tester module introduces errors that you cannot anticipate. Also spelling tests are dependent on what dictionaries are installed locally, and critic tests use all plugins that are installed, both of which cannot be predicted in advance. Either move them to xt/, or guard them with: plan skip_all => "These tests are for authors only!" unless $ENV{AUTHOR_TESTING} or $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING};

The problem with every CPAN distribution with failing tests is that it may appear on the beforemaintrelease page: http://analysis.cpantesters.org/beforemaintrelease?pair=5.22.1:5.23.8 And in fact, I stumbled over your distribution because it was on this page (maybe now it's vanished --- may happen if in the meantime a fail was generated for the older perl). Every entry on this page means additional effort for the people who look over the page and analyze whether it's a regression caused by the newer perl or just a problem of the CPAN distribution. If it's the latter, then I create a RT ticket and link this ticket on the beforemaintrelease page, so it's known that this problem was acted on. So instead of rejecting this ticket it would be far more helpful to remove the distribution from CPAN if there are really no users (and hoping that nobody is smoking backpan distributions), or to make the tiny change (i.e. remove the pod test completely) and re-release the module.
