Ken, Thanks for the explanation. For better or worse, after a rebuild of mod_perl all of my tests are now working. I don't know what I changed but I've logged out and back onto the system and rebuilt from scratch. Everything is running perfectly which is great. Now to see if my segfault with Image::Magick (which is the real reason I got back to working on these tests) has gone away.
