That appears to work, but it didn't uninstall the old test.pm, and I 
haven't tried any tests that use Apache::test using the new one.

I think that Perl itself does something like this:

use File::Spec::Functions qw(catfile);

my $file = catfile 't', 'TestTest';
open F, ">$file" or die "Cannot open $file: $!";
close F;
my $is_case_insensitive = -e catfile 't', 'testtest';
unlink $file;

Oh, fer cryin' out loud, I don't know. Rename it Apache::Tester and 
don't worry about it, I say.
