my own level of understanding here really leaves me not knowing what to make
of it at all.  the core dumps I've been getting haven't contained anything
useful, and I recently started getting them with mp1 as well.

in truth, my dev box is on its last legs, so I have been somewhat hoping
that that contributed to the problem as well.  the reality is that I
sometimes get core dumps and sometimes don't, it sometimes works and
sometimes doesn't, just when I type 'make testcover' a few times without
doing anything else...

if it helps, whether you're using mp1 or mp2 this tarball is what I use as
my test case

  http://people.apache.org/~geoff/Apache-Test-with-Devel-Cover.tar.gz

so just

  $ perl Makefile.PL -httpd /path/to/whatever/httpd/you/want/1.3/or/2.x

will let you test multiple versions of httpd.

note that it's been updated to work with the latest Apache-Test (that is,
the changes that started this thread) so you'll need a recent version or
need to go fiddling with the extra files yourself.

that's ok, mp1 is still important :)

wow, that's great.  if you could ever give me a hint on how to set the
compile flags to get XS coverage that would be awesom - I'd love to
intelligently add those automatically when compiling mp2 in maintainer mode
so that they show up when using A-T to test XS-based CPAN modules.
