I was doing this:
my $test = $self->SUPER::test(@_);
# %MY::APACHE is set in makeconfig.pl.
# If we are not going to test with Apache there is no harm in
# setting this anyway.
# The PORT env var is used by Apache::test. Don't delete it!
my $port = $MY::APACHE{port} || 8228;
$MY::APACHE{apache_dir} ||= '';
# This works for older MakeMakers
$test =~ s/(runtests \@ARGV;)/\$\$ENV{MASON_VERBOSE} = \$(TEST_VERBOSE) ?
\$(TEST_VERBOSE) : \$\$ENV{MASON_VERBOSE};
\$\$ENV{PORT}=$port; \$\$ENV{APACHE_DIR}=q^$MY::APACHE{apache_dir}^; $1/;
This is part of the Mason Makefile.PL. The goal here is to set some $ENV
variables before the tests are run so that the tests can get at them
later.
I do the same thing with Alzabo. I suppose I could have done this by
writing a file and then reading it before each test as well, but the MM
docs, as you pointed out, do encourage this sort of thing.

Sounds good to me. I hate MakeMaker. With Module::Build it is much
easier to do the sort of stuff I need to do.
