I don't know how to do the "graceful" stop, though. What we want is a bit like trying TERM then KILL on Unix, but that doesn't work on Win32 -- see the entry for kill() in the perlport manpage! Win32::Process doesn't have any "graceful" kill options either, and the "apache.exe -k stop" command-line that I mentioned above only relates to installed Apache2 *services*, not processes started from a command shell. Any ideas, Randy?
At one point I had played around with using a service to get around this problem - have Apache::Test install a temporary service, then use "Apache -k start" / "Apache -k stop" to start / stop the server. While this does things gracefully, so that the pid file is removed, I think there may be some problems with some users not having the right permissions to install a service.
Also don't forget that Apache -k won't work in apache-1.3, which A::T needs to support.

I'm fine with whatever is needed on the win32 side. We probably need to do a similar thing on non-win32, as we get the stale pid file as well. Though whatever you do, please test that it still works with apache-1.3. An easy way to test is to run the httpd-test/perl-framework/ test suite (httpd-test is yet another cvs rep). It works with httpd-2.0 and apache-1.3. Hopefully one day someone will port mp1's test suite to use A::T, so we will have one of our own in the 1.3 land.
