I am building up a virgin FreeBSD 5.4 box to test out my application under modperl2. However, it craps out in the "make test" step... Now why does it offer to actually run the test when it *knows* it can't run them?

It's a generic Apache-Test stuff. It was added in 1.08. The idea is to allow users to skip the test suite *successfully* by choosing 'Yes', which is exactly how A-T will allow CPAN.pm to continue (since in that case 'make test' returns 0=success). But it shouldn't happen by default. That's why the default is 'No'.

Also, what is the suggested procedure for installing via cpan if it can't be run as root?

Either say 'yes' to the skip prompt or install it manually

Running the test suite is important to make sure that the module that
you are about to install works on your system. If you choose not to
run the test suite and you have a problem using this module, make sure
to return and run this test suite before reporting any problems to the
developers of this module.

Skip the test suite? [No]
*** Error code 1
