win32_fetch_apxs in Apache-Test?
Hi,
The current Apache-Test cvs, as well as looking for an
Apache binary, will also search for apxs, which doesn't come
with Apache-2 on Win32. Within the mod_perl 2 distribution
Makefile.PL will offer to run a script on Win32 to fetch and
install an apxs - might it be an idea to do the same for
Apache-Test, or perhaps within the perl-framework
Makefile.PL?

Yes, the latter is what I was thinking - I'll make up
something for that and pass it along. Thanks.

Yes, yes, what I was saying is that how the interactive config should know
whether it's Apache 1 or Apache 2 that the user is after? or did you want to
suggest it after user has specified the value for httpd and then if you figure
out that it's for Apache2 and there is no apxs, you'd suggest to install it? I
think that sounds like a working solution.

That's true about a user already getting the chance to get a
development apxs with mp2 - I was wondering though about
doing the same for Apache2 within the perl-framework (the
apxs that is offered with mp2 will work outside of mp2, as
it just requires Apache2 - for example, it builds and runs
the c-modules tests under httpd-test/perl-framework/). So
here we would just have to check for Apache2.

But that works only for mp2. How does A-T knows whether a user wants mp2 and
not mp1? I think if they have mp2, they have had a chance to get apxs2 alredy, no?
