Apache::Test and Apache::Request are among the culprits here - they will run 
the tests as root, but drop privileges to nobody and then require rwx 
permission on the directory you're running the tests in. I'm currently trying 
to make rpms of all the CPAN packages needed by RT and getting bitten by this 
quite regularly.
