Perl::Critic is an author test. Sometimes authors may write tests that are broken and not bother to fix them, because they're run only by authors. Likely the author saw those failures while building and chose to ignore them for one reason or another. A fix would be to provide a perlcriticrc file which can explicitly exclude those tests, but that's all we can do. the problem is, really, upstream.
If the test is disabled it should build fine, and not really harm program functionality. I'm not sure of the specifics of writing DBD drivers, so perhaps those class names are required by the particular driver interface. Still, I recommend just packaging the module and skipping that test. It would be simple to add a plan skip all to the top...
