When installing via CPAN, I've never had a succesful test. But what helps is to have your Apache already running during the test, and when CPAN asks for the apache source either show it the directory of the headers or give it a q. If all else fails try force-ing the install. For up to date RPM's try <FreshRPMs.net>
