I'm trying to come up to speed on Apache::Test. I'm working from Stas's documentation at http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html. My system is roughly:
gentoo linux 1.4
perl 5.8.0 useithreads=undef useperlio=define
apache 1.3.28
mod_perl 1.3.28
Apache::Test 1.04 (2003/08/28 cvs snapshot)
I ended up having to patch TestConfig.pm so that it could locate libperl.so. TestConfig.pm's find_apache_module method doesn't try the /usr/lib/apache-extramodules directory... Which is where Gentoo linux likes to put it. A few searches on google suggest Mandrake may put things there as well.
I don't know the story on "extramodules"... If anyone is familiar with it please point me to any documentation or rational on why it exists and what advantage it offers. I hate finding customizations without a clue as to why they're there.
Anyways what follows is my best guess on a reasonable way to locate it when trying to find modules.
