ok, I see - something similar to apxs -q? that would definitely be useful.
We already have this functionality in Apache::Build in modperl-2.0. Perhaps it needs to be abstracted so it can be used from Apache::Test without having mod_perl enabled.
I'm no vacation for the next two weeks, but when I get back I'll take a stab at the interface and see what I can do (if nobody beats me to it).
in either case, I still think have_apache_mpm() is a decent API for Apache-Test, no matter how it's implemented behind the scenes. does it make sense to get that in first as I last proposed then change the implementation later? I guess the other option is to dump have_apache_mpm() in favor of a more generic query_apache() (or have both :)
