That's what I was thinking - sorry, I should have been clearer. ppm has a feature that, when one installs a ppm package, a script from some server can optionally be fetched and run (by Perl, or anything, actually). So what I could do for the Apache-Test ppm package we have is use such a script to get the needed files for the apxs script and run and install them (if the user wants) - that way, a person running an older httpd-2.0 could just ppm install Apache-Test from here, and apxs would also get installed (of course, associating this script with Apache-Test is just convenience - a user can fetch and run the script him/herself manually). So this wouldn't require any changes to the Apache-Test sources. -- best regards, randy
