Perfect. Finally the detection is properly working. Now the test suite doesn't even start, since we can tell ahead that it won't work.
The next stage will be to find a workaround for the problem.
Thanks a lot for the testing, Volker.
:-)
Thanks a lot for all your work. I will be happy to help you with some work in the tests. Just tell me :-)
;)
What could be done next is once detected that we are running under root and the path the t/ resides in won't be accessible by Apache running as user nobody, copying the t/ directory to /tmp (or ~/tmp or else) and running the tests without user doing anything. But now that I think about it (and I adjusted the failure comment to reflect that), the lib and blib dirs also won't be reachable so we need to most of the distribution. So may be it's not worth the bother as there is not much gain in it. At least the user will know what's going on if he moves the whole distro to a different directory by himself.
People who download and build things manually, should do that under their home directory and only run 'make install' as root.
For CPAN.pm/CPANPLUS users we will advise to configure .cpan to live under /tmp/ or ~/tmp/.
As more and more Apache:: modules are going to adopt Apache-Test users will eventually setup things so that everything will work automatically.
