That's been my experience which made migrating these to my laptop for
offsite/offline work relatively painful.

I'll send you a copy of my current version in a separate email to avoid
inundating the list. Let me know offlist if anyone else wants a copy.
WARNING: This is alpha code. You can also look at the Apache::Test
module which performs a similar, but much more complex version.

I just haven't really considered adding the loading in the instance
scripts when it comes to my larger projects (I do this for reusable
modules such as form processors). I'll try it and see how it goes. Who
knows, I may be a convert. My original concern was more about the
wording in the description of your plugin. I wanted to be sure I wasn't
somehow misusing the module by loading the config in setup().

I presume that your instace scripts are in www. Do the paths to your
