Hello,
the Apache::Test Makefile.PL enters an infinite loop when it is running
without a connected terminal and can't find the path to httpd. This is
very bad for CPAN testers who maybe don't have a httpd binary somewhere
to be found, and where the testing runs unattended. Please use the
prompt() function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker and don't enter a loop if the
default is accepted, or detect that Makefile.PL is run in unattended
mode and don't enter the loop at all.
Thanks,
