we are pleased to announce a new release candidate for the Apache-Test distribution.
http://people.apache.org/~geoff/Apache-Test-1.28-dev.tar.gz please give it a whirl and report back success or failure. prior to the 1.26 release it was discovered that Apache-Test didn't play nice with boxes that had both mp1 and mp2 installed. we thought we had the problem licked but apparently we didn't, so this release contains another try. if you're running mod_perl and can't do both $ perl Makefile.PL -httpd /path/to/httpd-1.X/bin/httpd and $ perl Makefile.PL -httpd /path/to/httpd-2.X/bin/httpd and have 'make test' choose and run against the proper httpd version something is very wrong. hopefully it's all fixed now, but if you experience any problems please report them. --Geoff Changes since 1.27: add need_imagemap() and have_imagemap() to check for mod_imap or mod_imagemap [ Colm MacCarthaigh ] shortcuts like need_cgi() and need_php() no longer spit out bogus skip messages [Geoffrey Young] Adjust Apache::TestConfig::untaint_path() to handle relative paths that don't start with /. [Stas] If perlpath is longer than 62 chars, some shells on certain platforms won't be able to run the shebang line, so when seeing a long perlpath use the eval workaround [Mike Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Location of the pid file is now configurable via the command line -t_pid_file option [Joe Orton] remove the mod_perl.pm entry from %INC after Apache::Test finishes initializing itself. because both mp1 and mp2 share the entry, leaving it around means that Apache::Test might prevent later modules from loading the real mod_perl module they're interested in, leading to bad things [Geoffrey Young] use which("cover") to find the cover utility from Devel::Cover and run it only if found. [Stas] Devel::Cover magic is now fully integrated. no more modperl_extra.pl or extra.conf.in fiddling - 'make testcover' should be all you need to do now [Geoffrey Young] Implemented a magic @NextAvailablePort@ to be used in config files to automatically allocate the next available port [Stas] Adjust Apache::TestConfig::add_inc to add lib/ in separate call to lib::->import at the very end of @INC manipulation to ensure it'll be on top of @INC. For some reason lib has changed to add directories in a different order than it did before. [Stas]
