Thanks for the quick reply on this one, Stas.

I ran the script, 'localhost' resulted. I applied the patch as you
advised, and it seems as though (i'm building as i composed this)
resolved the issue absolutely. Thanks a heap!

That's weird. Because my patch doesn't solve the problem, it only asserts if the default servername wasn't found. Could it be a temporary glitch on your system? What happens if you reverse the patch and try again? Does it still fail as before?

could you point me to some documentation that my relate to this problem?
i'm quite new to perl. i surmise it was network-related from some of the
modules and patch work applied.

The problem was at Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm:

sub our_remote_addr {
    my $self = shift;
    my $name = $self->default_servername;
    $remote_addr ||= Socket::inet_ntoa((gethostbyname($name))[-1]);
}

$name was undef. Socket::inet_ntoa() has died because of that.
