bug reporting aids

[Geoffrey Young <ge...@modperlcookbook.org>]

hi all

to help people in reporting bugs in mod_perl code that are _not_ caught by
the test suite, I have created a few Apache-Test skeletons.

for mod_perl 2.0:
  http://perl.apache.org/~geoff/bug-reporting-skeleton-mp2.tar.gz

for mod_perl 1.0:
  http://perl.apache.org/~geoff/bug-reporting-skeleton-mp1.tar.gz

basically, each is a self-contained tarball into which you can easily insert
custom code and configurations.  creating self-contained distributions that
allow core developers to easily reproduce your bugs dramatically increase
the chances that your bug will be fixed.  it might even fix itself once you
are forced to start with a clean configuration :)

instructions for each can be found within the README.

the skeletons also happen to be good examples of using Apache-Test, so if
you're interested in using a live server to test your modules, they are a
good place to find a simple, working example.

as I mentioned, please make sure that mod_perl proper passes all it's own
tests before resorting to using these.  but they are there if you need them.
