INSTALLATION: this module follows the standard $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ su # make install routine. if you want to run the tests, you'll need to do something similar to the following $ export APACHE=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd $ export APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs $ make test whether you choose to specify httpd or apxs depends on whether or not your installation is has mod_so, so you may need one or the other or both. you can also configure the test suite when building the Makefile $ perl Makefile.PL -apxs /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs run $ t/TEST -help or see the README in the Apache::Test distribtion for more options of course, this module is made to run under Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0 so you'll need those as well. perl 5.8.0 is also a good idea. have fun.
