Hello Stas,
Thank you for your suggestion. I read through the thread as you suggested,
and the underlying fault seems to be permissions related. I built mod_perl
under my own login, which is an ADS network account, and noticed that the
UID is a very large integer. I somehow thought that this could be contributing
to the problem and so decided to create a local user account on my MacOSX system.
This account lists much lower integers for UID and GID in the shell.
I rebuilt mod_perl under this new, local account and then ran 'make test'. It all ran sensationally well this time and all the tests passed. Thank you for the pointer that planted the seed.
Excellent. Though if you have a bit of free time, as a service to other folks who will certainly hit the same problem, it'd be great if you could go back to the original problematic setup and figure out how Apache-Test could have avoided it in first place, or at worst knew how to signal to the user what exactly is the problem. We are here to help if you have any further questions. Thank you, Ron.
