The *only* beef I have about PREREQ_PM is that it "use"es the prereq
modules to see if they are there are installed. This unfortunately does not
work
in certain situations, like Apache modules that link against mod_perl,
unless
they are actually running under mod_perl. Since MakeMaker isn't running
under mod_perl, the module will fail to bootstrap and report a fail to load.
Is there
another test to see if a module is installed?
