As Geoff pointed out, this statement is incorrect. The document: http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html should answer most of your questions.
It's incorrect in the sense that most of the modules aren't documented. I was using that article and the one on perl.com, or I would have got nowhere. I'll likely submit some docs for TestRequest shortly.

They aren't running from t/, unless you run them from there. t/TEST can run from t/ and from base.
No, I run `make test`. In my test scripts, which live in t/, when I want to parse the log, I have to open 'logs/error_log', not 't/logs/error_log'. It runs out of t/.
Look at how mod_perl does that.
BTW, autogeneration of t/TEST is only useful if you don't want any customizations. If you do, create t/TEST.PL, like modperl-2.0 does.
I'll take a look.
Another examples on CPAN are Apache::Peek and Apache::Clean.
Thanks.
