Hi. I'm using Apache::Test to develop tests for my OpenID in-line session-based auth for the upcoming production release of Apache2::Controller.
In order to do this I have to run a Net::OpenID::Server via an HTTP::Server::Simple which forks the test script and runs the test OpenID server into the background. Trouble is, if I encounter some kind of error in the test libraries themselves, like use of an uninitialized value under warnings FATAL => all, or if hit ctl-c while running the test, the forked child doesn't die, but remains in the background consuming memory and the temporary port that was assigned. I thought maybe I could use sigtrap in the test script and kill the pid of the child HTTP::Server::Simple. But it doesn't seem to work. Is this because t/TEST doesn't pass the signal on to the interpreter of the individual script? Any idea how I could do this so the forked child of the openid.t script will always exit cleanly on an error condition? Thanks. Mark
