I am sure the test is useful if you want to refactor mod_autoindex and know that the output should not change between before and after your changes. However, as a general test, I am not sure that a byte for byte comparision of output against some expected output is a good idea. It will cause test failures if mod_autoindex's output changes in any way, not just if some functionality is broken. Therefore I would rather not commit it to the perl-framework repository. However, I am interested in the opinions of other committers. > PS - is there someone I can talk to about Apache::Test development? Is this developed as part of mod_perl? Then the mod_perl lists would be appropriate. But I am not sure.
