(I was about to file a bug about this, until I found I'd already done so a year ago...)

The libapache2-authcookie-perl package needs APACHE_TEST_EXTRA_ARGS as well. I had to skip the meat of the tests there because of this. Also, people have expressed needs for HOME for at least libgtk3-perl and libextutils-modulemaker-perl. It's not clear to me how that should work wrt. absolute vs. relative paths: the tests are presumably run under /tmp in a directory that can't be hardcoded in an environment list. Finally, my original concerns in this bug about executable configuration files still apply. I would appreciate input on this. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763541#5 -- Niko
