ok, here's my latest problem... given a 3rd party module installation
$ perl Makefile.PL -apxs /foo/bin/apxs two issues arrive 1) $HOME/.apache-test is created when the tests are run, not when the module is installed. which means that even without any actual installs 2) -apxs is subsequently ignored for all but the very first time I run t/TEST, making it impossible to test against multiple apache/mod_perl installs. I know lots of work went into this already, but might it be worth the time to back it all out and start with a spec first? something that the few of us that are interested can tweak until we thing we have all the bases covered? --Geoff
