doh! of course. But what I think is more along the developers lines. I 
want to be able to run the test suite skipping all those tests that load 
the compat layer, to see that everything works for sure. That's why I 
was thinking about compat/

Though some tests using compat just because the new API is not there 
yet. So I guess we shouldn't move these into compat/, I think I'll try 
the following trick: replace Apache::compat with an empty package, and 
see whether things work the same way, discarding failures in modules 
needing the compat layer.

Actually I wasn't planning on taking any news things to work on, before 
I finish my ever growing todo list. I thought that somebody else will be 
interested in working on this issue. All I wanted to say is that I think 
that's it's important that CGI.pm will work with modperl 2.0 when it 
gets released, or even better earlier. Any takers?
