it's probably just a misunderstanding on your part. I'll take a look at it, but I have absolutely no idea what your tarball actually does - that it contains more than one .conf file is too complex for me to wade through. try using this as a basis instead: http://people.apache.org/~geoff/Apache-Test-skeleton-mp2.tar.gz if you can have 'make test' issue a failure that can be easily verified I'm pretty sure I can explain what's going on. see also http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&m=111335082632706&w=2 specifically http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&m=111461643218624&w=2 HTH --Geoff
