Ideally, Makefile.PLs should be able to run without any extra args or user interaction taking at least sensible defaults. Shouldn't it be able to scan around a few likely locations for your Apache directory? At the very least, you can fall back to an environment variable. -- "That's what Jagulars always do," said Pooh, much interested. "They call 'Help!
