This will vary from one test machine to another, there's no standard
build.

First of all, by default you're only notified of failures, not
successes. Looking on the CPAN Testers website I can see 17 passes, 10
fails, and 126 'NA' results.

The NAs are all on perl versions < 5.26, as specified in your
Makefile.PL, so that's fine.

The failures are all from Nigel Horne's test boxes, but I also see at
least one pass from him as well:

Andreas Koenig has a useful tool for trying to spot patterns in
failures:

there's nothing there at the moment but I assume it lags a bit behind.
