If apxs is installed on Win32, it is usually specified as a .bat file. In querying apxs in apxs() of Apache::TestConfig, however, Win32 needs both the path to cmd.exe (for running a .bat command) and to Perl (in order to run apxs.bat) in order to get something from $val = qx($apxs -q $q 2>$devnull); This diff:
If it's only win32 case then +1 but if other platforms may have the same problem, may be it's better to blindly launder $ENV{PATH} like we do in a few other places (in which case there will be no need for this change, as the right paths will be there already, correct?)
