Yup, but in this case when you run tests modules/PerlRequire makes more
visual sense than modules/perlrequire.
but whichever is fine, I can lowercase these :)
I still get the .t file wiped though.

How about differenting between __END__ and __DATA__ and using one for
config part and the second for everything else that can include code:
__END__
<VirtualHost ...>
...
</VirtualHost>
__DATA__
sub CONFIGURE{
#
}
sub CLEANUP{
}
and then we have a freedom of adding new functionality as we want, since
all we have to do is to eval the __DATA__ segment inside the test's
package and then call its function at the various stages of the testing.
