I see - so the author would design their tests so they could be run either with or without a live server? I'm guessing many authors would want to require a live server, and thus rely on Apache::TestMB.
Most module authors design their tests to rely on the presence or absences of Apache::Test already, AFAIK. t/08apache.t in MasonX::Interp::WithCallbacks, for example, looks like this:
BEGIN {
plan skip_all => 'Testing of apache_req requires Apache::Test'
unless eval {require Apache::Test}; plan skip_all => 'Test of apache_req requires mod_perl'
unless Apache::Test::have_module('mod_perl.c'); require Apache::TestRequest;
Apache::TestRequest->import(qw(GET POST));plan tests => 178; }
Anyway, this gives them the option; they could always put Apache::Test in build_requires and then expect it to be there, I guess.
