Subject: tests should be skipped if modules required for testing aren't present
Tests should be skipped if modules required for testing aren't present (hello eval) and the only module required for testing is DBI/DBD::SQLite. Term::Prompt is completely unneccessary, and in fact would only hinder the testing proccess :) (it's a common mistake of new PAUSE authors to not use a MakeMaker compatible prompt function -- it makes the cpan-testers happy) You should use ExtUtils::MakeMaker's prompt function, and Text::Wrap's wrap function. Both have been in the perl CORE for a long time (always present), and MakeMaker's prompt function is friendly to CPAN* and Test::* modules.
