The only way I can make the tests fail in this manner are to attempt to run the tests when the current working directory is not the directory of the extracted tarball.
$ pwd
/home/chris
[canker:]$ perl foo.pl

+tract.t ..
ok 1 - use Archive::Extract;
ok 2 - Archive::Extract->can('types')
ok 3 - Got a list of types
# 01_Archive-Extract.t

foo.pl is just a path amended version of Khen1950fx's script.
That said, this is different to your original output which appeared to be from being in the perl source tree. Okay, let's have a go at breaking that.
bingos@harlequin:~/repos/perl.git$ cd t/
bingos@harlequin:~/repos/perl.git/t$ ./perl harness ../cpan/Archive-Ex
+tract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t
../cpan/Archive-Extract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t .. ok
All tests successful.

I don't know then. The tests in your output appear to be failing before they reach the 'archive' tests, namely because they aren't being run from the correct current working directory.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
