As for the prompt, it's probably only useful from within CPAN shell. From the command line it's much better to have people pass this argument to Makefile.PL. Again if everybody sets their APXS env var in ~/.login, then all the future testing using Apache::Test just works. Do you think it's not worth to make people do this instead having an annoying prompt on each module build?
Can't you store the value prompted for when you install Apache::Test, rather than every time you generate a new t/TEST? That way you get prompted *once* and never again (of course you have to provide a way to change it if you move your httpd).
If I have httpd-1.3 and httpd-2.0 on the same system, which one should be chosen? Or do you suggest to just let the user to make a single choice assuming that they will use only one most of the time and can still override the default if they want to change it?
Let's say that we store that value. Should this value be used as a default suggestion in the prompt, when a user hasn't supplied an explicit argument or should it be used without any prompt?
