one of the things I've tried to do but was never able to get working was call have_apache within Makefile.PL. being able to do this would be a nice way to add a PREREQ_PM-type precondition for building modules that rely on, say, httpd 2.1. as a user it doesn't quite make sense why this wouldn't work - Makefile.PL is getting passed -apxs or -httpd, so you would think that after the call to filter_args the httpd version would be known. being able to support something like this, whether automatically or on command would be really great. that is, forcing a full configuration before calling WriteMakefile so that all the standard Apache::Test functions are available. --Geoff
