Probably should have simply updated my original post, but ah well ...

Given the massive flocking of monks to help me with this, along with the particularly awesome Google results it seems as though either I'm the only idiot trying to combine mod_perl2, Apache::Test and Devel::Cover or nobody knows how to fix it. In either event, I believe I have resolved the issue and figured I may as well update the post ...

Effectively, in a Perl tag of my httpd.conf, I was loading DBI and Apache::DBI (along with countless other custom and CPAN modules). After getting a bare-bones unit test working, I started to strip elements from my httpd.conf and found that all DBI related classes, when loaded in httpd.conf (either via use in a Perl tag, PerlModule or PerlLoadModule mod_perl directives, I would get this hauntingly criptic error. I now use those modules outside of my httpd.conf and all works well. Huh. Awesome.

Some other significant changes that were made which may have played a part (though I don't believe so) is basing my test directory off of this handy download: And although that includes some curiosities that I hadn't tried, it didn't immediately help although may have in the long run -- I really don't know.

Hope that helps someone out there.
