Classes and methods apply to Perl as well (almost:) as to C.

The nasty error is from the test scripts, not from the compilation of
Apache. You've already compiled Apache at this stage. 'make test' is
an optional suite of tests. src.t is written in Perl. The suite of
tests *should* pass and I would recommend you find out why they don't
but you *could* just ignore the failed tests and see if your server
works by configuring it and asking it for a document...

I don't think you need to go there yet. Lots of Apache users don't
program in C. It's easier to understand what's going on while you're
building if you do, but most users don't build Apache very often.
