If it's just one or two tests that fail due to explicit dependencies, then 
you might consider skipping them explicitly in a named block, rather than 
bypassing the whole .t. From the Test::More manpage:

                SKIP: {
                    eval { require HTML::Lint };

                    skip "HTML::Lint not installed", 2 if $@;

                    my $lint = new HTML::Lint;
                    isa_ok( $lint, "HTML::Lint" );

                    $lint->parse( $html );
                    is( $lint->errors, 0, "No errors found in HTML" );
                }

            If the user does not have HTML::Lint installed, the whole block
            of code won't be run at all.  Test::More will output special
            ok's which Test::Harness interprets as skipped, but passing,
            tests.
