Subject: Should extend from MakeMaker, not replace it
This plugin replaces MakeMaker, but instead of building on top of its code, it tries to duplicate its functionality -- therefore missing all the bug fixes and improvements made to that plugin. Instead, inherit from it, or use a plugin like MakeMaker::Awesome which makes it easier to extend and modify its behaviour.

Thanks. I rewrote this using MakeMaker::Awesome, and also DynamcPrereqs. v0.02 was just uploaded to CPAN. The result of this is that its now a plugin bundle so you need to use [@ApacheTest] instead of [ApacheTest] The DynamicPrereqs plugin is used to add either mod_perl or mod_perl2 to the PREREQ list. In addition you can now specify the minimum Apache::Test version that is required with the min_version option in dist.ini. -- Regards, Michael Schout
