Description
I had this failure occur, and then I responded "retry" to my cpanm prompt and it went away:
# Failed test at t/response.t line 143.
# got: '180.2'
# expected: '180'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 68.
t/response.t ................
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

There's one reproduction on CPAN Testers on Dragonfly BSD with Perl 5.18.4
But I'm failing here on Linux + 5.27.9

Research direction
Start with t/response.t, especially line 143 and failed test 47. Run the test repeatedly on the reported Perl and operating-system combinations, and compare the observed 180.2 value with the expected 180. Done means the intermittent failure is understood and t/response.t passes reliably without requiring a retry.
