I've noticed this on lots of CPAN modules other than mod_perl. It seems to me that there should be two test suites for most complex modules: developer tests and installer tests. The developer tests would check every corner case of every complex function -- like a full regression test might do. The installer tests would check for the basic functionality to see if the thing is installed properly, and perhaps test some things that may be system-dependent, and be a subset of the developer's tests.
For sure, mod_perl could do with a split like this.
