Data::OptList cannot be installed against perl built with NO_TAINT_SUPPORT #3
Description
Last week I built a perl with this configuration:
$ uname -mrs
Linux 5.19.0-41-generic x86_64
$ ./bin/perl -Ilib -v | head -2 | tail -1
This is perl 5, version 37, subversion 12 (v5.37.12 (v5.37.11-5-gcf4572e56a)) built for x86_64-linux
$ ./bin/perl -Ilib -V:config_args
config_args='-des -Dusedevel -Accflags=-DNO_TAINT_SUPPORT -Dprefix=/home/jkeenan/testing/blead -Uversiononly -Dman1dir=none -Dman3dir=none';
I installed cpanm against that perl, then tried to install Task::CPAN::Reporter against that perl. The installation failed. The first module to FAIL in that attempt appears to have been Data::OptList.
$ ./bin/cpanm Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase

This in turn led to failures in other Task::CPAN::Reporter prerequisites, including:
-> FAIL Bailing out the installation for Sub-Exporter-0.989.
-> FAIL Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Sub::Exporter' is not installed
-> FAIL Bailing out the installation for Data-GUID-0.051.
-> FAIL Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Data::GUID' is not installed
-> FAIL Bailing out the installation for Metabase-Fact-0.025.
I note that there may be other NO_TAINT_SUPPORT-related failures in other, distinct prerequisites for Task::CPAN::Reporter, so simply fixing this distro may not suffice re doing CPANtesters reporting against this type of build.
I believe @DrHyde has been looking into this kind of problem, but I don't know if we've established any S.O.P. as to how to write tests against this kind of perl.
