I would not worry about these.  They are probably caused by the library 
finding a ~/.mime.types file and using it.  The test ought to be rewritten.

This one is strange.  You might try to change the test so that it prints the 
errormessage in addition to the "not ok 1\n" string, like this:

--- autoload.t  1995/08/17 14:00:23     1.4
+++ autoload.t  1995/12/20 16:54:11

 if ($response->isSuccess) {
     print "ok 1\n";
 } else {
+    print $response->errorAsHTML;
     print "not ok 1\n";
 }
