[WIP] cpanm: disable test with version operator

[russoz]

SUMMARY

While working on CmdRunner, cpanm integration tests start to fail in CentOS 7, apparently preventing cpanm from installing Perl packages in any version but the most recent one. It is not clear why this is happening - the problem was reproduced locally in CentOS 7 and it did not occur in Ubuntu Jammy (as an example).

This test "recently" (not sure whether its weeks or months ago) failed as well, and after some days worked again.

I have no clue what's going wrong and how to fix it, I just remember that the last time when I wanted to take a closer look it just resolved itself ;)

The CentOS test fails because cpanm, when trying to install JSON@4.01, apparently cannot find any version of JSON to install other than the latest (4.10) at the time of writing. I suspect it might be related to which metacpan mirror it is trying to connect, but no hard evidence either way.

The RH test fails when simply installing JSON, no shenanigans. That makes no sense to me either.

I created a PR which temporarily disables all cpanm tests on these platforms: #8312

Gonna close this one for the time being.
