Sorry - this time I had a deadline to reach and the bug was intermittent and only during file upload so I could safely ignore it. I'll see what I can do though.

Ever tried to run an apache docroot from a directory that the parent directory is not rx by nobody? Doesn't work.

I don't know - I'd never install mod_perl from CPAN ;-) But it's fairly easy to debug. su to root, extract the archive and try a make test. It's obvious why it fails. Easiest thing to do is skip those tests if you detect a root install, or if you can detect that the user running httpd can't access the directory and all directories above it.

Unfortunately, I don't think chown'ing the files will work (at least in my case), because the directory itself (/root/.cpanplus on my box) isn't accessible from a non-root user. I haven't worked on a solution yet, but I was thinking the best thing to do might be to create a temp directory (maybe with a prompt for the directory to create it under) from the generated Makefile in the start_httpd section and copy any content (and then remove it in kill_httpd) Maybe this would be a good feature to add to the Apache::test and Apache::Test modules?
