The problem with providing a replacement for Apache::test is that some people are going to reinstall older mod_perl versions and kill the overriden file.
That's certainly true in general (for case-preserving but otherwise case-insensitive file systems) - I just thought I'd clarify why this problem never really arose before on ActivePerl Win32. There, mod_perl 1 works with perl-5.6.1 but not with perl-5.8.0 (due to large files support), and mod_perl 2 works with perl-5.8.0, but not (practically speaking) with perl-5.6.1. So it's very rare that Apache::test and Apache::Test would get installed within the same Perl tree, at least while these two were tied to particular mod_perl versions.
Cool. What about MacOSX? Any other systems?
The other issue is that we have to ship and install Test.pm and test.pm, because mp1 users will need test.pm on case-sensitive systems. On case insensitive systems only one of these will be installed (the other will overwrite the first one).
