Unfortunately this solution won't work. If you have

MakeMaker is going to 'require Apache::Test' and either won't find it

What a bummer.
yes, I thought about that already as I began to revamp my distributions :)
the solution, of course, is to advocate prereq'ing Apache::TestPlan => 0
- it's a bit counterintuitive, but no different than downloading
libwww-perl and using a LWP::UserAgent prereq.
but really, this shouldn't be much of an issue - you generally prereq
module dependencies, not testing dependencies (yeah the tests will fail,
but there are steps you can take within the tests to keep that from
happening). and EU::MM only warns on missing prereqs anyway, so it's
never failsafe :)
for mp2 users you'll be able to prereq mod_perl 1.9910 and that should
cover almost all cases (save a few weeks of CVS). for mp1 users
eval'ing 'require Apache::TestPlan' will be sufficient, since you
require() the modules anyway to avoid failing makefiles. for the
others, well, altering the tests to require one or the other or
requiring TestPlan will be the only way.
so the main version lives in TestPlan instead of a file matching the
dist name - that happens with other modules so it's not all that strange
or difficult to live with.
eh, no, the prereq is LWP, not LWP::UserAgent, look at LWP.pm:
package LWP;
$VERSION = "5.69";
sub Version { $VERSION; }
require 5.004;
require LWP::UserAgent; # this should load everything you need
1;
so libwww-perl => LWP is intuitive
Apache-Test => Apache::TestPlan is not
