AnyEvent requires a working DNS server - if the test fails with opendns,
then your dns configuration is indeed not working properly, and failure is
expected.

This is a problem outside the scope of AnyEvent, really. If DNS is that
badly broken, then a test failure is the least of your problems.

Note that you can still install AnyEvent just fine - the test merely
signals that you will not correct dns resolution.
