Wouldn't that Makefile.PL die if mod_perl is not installed, instead of requiring all libs and then running the tests with them when they are followed by the CPAN user? Don't I want it to prompt CPAN to follow dependencies? But if I override &test in this way, how then do I run the tests that need to be run once `make` has begun? Aha, if I use ModPerl::MM then directives will work, nice.

But maybe it should just die if it can't require ModPerl::MM. If you haven't installed mod_perl and you can't figure out what to do next, maybe you shouldn't install this module. > I'm trying to abstract a bunch of this dirty work out in > Apache::Bootstrap, but that is primarily geared at dual > life mp1/mp2 modules, so I don't know how this conditional > test code will fit in. Sounds like a headache! Yeah I have decided I am too lazy to live in the past while simultaneously trying to keep up. :-) Mark
