Unfortunately, I don't know anything about building Apache/mod_perl on *nix systems, and was hoping that someone else might step in with some answers here. Do you get the same behaviour with Apache-Test-1.42, or are these new problems in 1.43-rc1? If the problems are not new then I'm inclined to leave them for now (assuming I can get some +1s from voters on releasing this) and look at addressing them for the next release. The purpose of this release was really just to update Apache-Test in mod_perl to the current version before making a long-overdue release of that.
