I have perl 5.8.0 with apache 1.3.28, and mod_perl 1.28 installed. I need the Apache::Test to be installed as well, as it is a req. for many other modules. I'm running into trouble with make test. Apparently it can't find the httpd server. How/Where would I add the path so that this mod will find the httpd server. Can I config the makefile or should this be set someplace else?
The user has to supply that value, let's say it's /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd, there are two ways to go:
APACHE=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd perl Makefile.PL
or
perl Makefile.PL -httpd /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
Your Makefile.PL should handle this input, you can read more on how to setup your Makefile.PL here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html#Setting_Up_Testing_Environment
with the key parts:
Apache::TestMM::filter_args();
Apache::TestMM::generate_script('t/TEST');You could also do that manually from your Makefile.PL, (if you decide to prompt your user for this value) and simply push it into @ARGV, e.g.:
my $httpd_path = prompt_for_httpd();
push @ARGV, '-httpd', $httpd_path;
Apache::TestMM::filter_args();
Apache::TestMM::generate_script('t/TEST');With this instrumentation 'make test' will work immediately, without it, the user has to do:
t/TEST -httpd /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
to run the test suite.
it's all in the Apache-Test tutorial (if something is missing unclear, just shout):
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html
Also see Apache::Peek and Apache::Clean modules from CPAN as examples.
