CPAN Digger has a never ending 3rd party Perl libraries, many without any CI configured. This time I picked the one called Data::Alias.
At first I sent a "standard" configuration of GitHub Actions, but then I noticed 2 things. Some tests were dependent on some extra modules and some tests needed a threaded Perl. Apparently the one that I used in my "standard" configuration isn't. So In addition to the execution of the CI on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows natively, I've also added another job in which we use a perl-based Docker image and run the tests there. In this case one of the tags I used from Perl on Docker Hub was the 5.36-threaded.
I was happy to see that the tests passed on every platform and on every version of Perl I tried.
I sent the pull-request

Conclusion
Sometimes you need more than one job even for stand-alone 3rd-party libraries.
