Perhaps I'm reading it the wrong way, but I think that there might be an error in INSTALL.apaci from the 1.29 distribution.

Under step 2 of "The Flexible Way", the instructions are listed as:

           $ cd mod_perl-1.XX
           $ perl Makefile.PL \
               APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.X/src \
               DO_HTTPD=1 \
               USE_APACI=1 \
               PREP_HTTPD=1 \
               EVERYTHING=1 \
               [...]
           $ make
           $ make test
           $ make install
           $ cd ..

If you haven't built Apache until step 4, the `make test` is always going to fail, isn't it? That always seems to be the way it works out for me... maybe I just suck at, um, computering.

I'm not on docs-dev right now, please cc me if you respond to this message.

Thanks Todd, it's indeed the case. in the future please refer to the complete documentation, which has it right: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#The_Flexible_Way

I'm in favor of nuking those quick-n-dirty instruction files, which aren't maintained for years and just mislead people.
