Template-Toolkit-2.23 fails its test suite under AUTOMATED_TESTING:

t/zz-pod-coverage.t ... 1/7 
#   Failed test 'Pod coverage on Template'
#   at t/zz-pod-coverage.t line 29.
# Coverage for Template is 75.0%, with 1 naked subroutine:
#       template
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 7.
t/zz-pod-coverage.t ... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/7 subtests 

I'm using AUTOMATED_TESTING to suppress interactive aspects of some module installs. I see TT is using its other meaning, of enabling extra tests.

While this test failure is indeed an issue that should be corrected, 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};

This isn't failing any more but I see no reason not to remove AUTOMATED_TESTING
