Lately, i saw many bugs like =dev-perl/
${packagename}: fails test. Me just interested proper way to fix those
bugs? Sure, it's good when we have clear version for bump w/o problem. But
this is not always.... What common ways to fix those bugs? (I know that we
can disable bad tests)

Strange, I didn't.

I think it depends on the bug.

So let's have a look at all "dev-perl" bugs in the last month:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc=dev-perl&chfieldto=Now&chfield=%5BBug%20creation%5D&chfieldfrom=-1M&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

I see four bugs with test failures in the summary. The last three
are probably caused by not running perl-cleaner and invalid as the
dependencies are already correct. The libintl-perl tests depend on the
locale setting. An upstream bug was filed a long time ago and we tried
to skip the tests if they will fail but probably missed some case.

Well, my 2 cents here are simple: either fix tests yourself(by disabling
SOME of them or make them behave properly) or restrict them. Note, that
RESTRICT="test" is not the way that you should use to fix the bug(e.g.
bug should NOT be closed on bugzilla) - it's just a workaround
