in thread Trouble installing Apache::Test as root.

Am I just ignorant and crochety, or is it awefully antisocial of the authors of these modules to put things on CPAN without first fixing them to be able to be installed via CPAN? 

$;=sub{$/};@;=map{my($a,$b)=($_,$;);$;=sub{$a.$b->()}}
split//,".rekcah lreP rehtona tsuJ";$\=$ ;->();print$/

    I'd say you're ignorant :)(don't know about crotchety) Last I checked you could do a force-install, so the module is installable.

    However, as a cpan-tester I do believe the author should use MakeMaker's prompt function to prompt for a path to httpd during Makefile.PL, and skip the tests if a httpd cannot be found.
