I was not ignoring your problem. Other than what had already been 
sugested there is currently no way to elegantly solve your problem which 
is why I wanted to discuss alternative mechanisms to solve this problem 
in the future. Hopefully you will soon be able to solve your problem by 
editing the META.yml file in your distribution. For now your only 
options are to skip or fail during 'make test' or to abort during 'perl 
Makefile.PL'. Most module authors choose the later.
