I have planned to spend some time this week and over the weekend. If you
could get such a login it would be great!

I think this error is already fixed in the current CVS version. The problem
is that newer Apache versions escape newlines in the error log, so the
number of lines make test get from the error log is 1 instead of 5, also the
content is the same.

I also will check Perl 5.8.4 today.

Yes, it only checks errors. That's because warnings are very different
between Perl versions and also errors have changed often, that's why this
function is so complicated. (and yes I know, make test is not an example for
well structured program, it's have been grown and grown and now it looks not
pretty nice)

I have also didn't had much time to spend on it. Now, since we have a hard
limit, this should at least speed up 2.0 release :-)

Thanks for your help
