I think he means by adding your own ServerRoot directive to extra.last.conf.in. however, I see what you are saying and that won't likely resolve your issue.

Yes, and I can't know what it is ahead of time. I don't expect that this would work:


ServerRoot @ServerRoot@/..

is there some reason that you want to backtrack to t/ in your test scripts? for the most part, I put things I need under t/, including libraries and other cruft, so that everything is relative to the default ServerRoot setting.

I _do_ want t to be the ServerRoot. But I _don't_ want t/ to be cwd for all of the tests that run (t/*.t). cwd during `make test` should be the package root directory. For example, I have a test script, t/01basic.t, that opens the error log to look for error messages from the Apache test server. Under Apache::test (and any other CPAN test suite that runs via Perl's usual `make test`), I would have to open it like this:


  open ERR, 't/logs/error_log' or die "Can't do it: $!\n";

However, under the default `make test` with Apache::Test, it changes the cwd to t. This is not where CPAN modules should be tested from. It forces me to open the error log like this, instead:

  open ERR, 'logs/error_log' or die "Can't do it: $!\n";

That's what I think should be changed.

Hope I've explained it better this time! :-)
