The CPAN testers are a fairly savvy group. I can't imagine any situation where they would have a problem running your tests; however, it is definitely feasible to to have a little SQLite sandbox to play around in. You want to look at: DBIx::Class::Migration. Start with: DBIx::Class::Migration::Tutorial::Testing.

Thank you for these references, Khen1950fx, I will see how the testing was implemented there.

The cpan-testers-discuss mailing list would be the best place to ask about stuff like this. But yes, SQLite is a good choice. MySQL is a good second choice as it's fairly commonly installed. Anything more exotic probably won't get tested much, or, indeed, at all, because setting up things like Oracle is a pain in the arse.
