Problem installing Apache::Request
Hopefully this is the correct group for this....If not I would appreciate
guidence.
I am trying to install several Perl modules on my Apache 1.3.28 server.
This is on a Fresh install of Redhat 8. This time without the redhat
updates.
I have Perl 5.8.0 loaded from the Redhat RPMs and Perl 5.8.1 compiled
from source.
I am trying, using CPAN, to load Apache::Request. It needs
Apache::Test. When Apache::Test tries to install it fails at the "make
test". Digging deeper, I found that when the test program tries to do a
GET, on anything, it is getting "access denied". I can access all pages on
the server through a browser so I'm not clear on what is causing the problem.
Any help is appreciated...
Most anything is easy after you've done it successfully a few times

And if you use the latest Apache::Test (1.04) it will tell you before you
start the test suite if you have this problem and suggest workarounds (like
Joe's one). In the future we plan to add some workarounds for this age-old
problem, but for now moving your .cpan dir to a directory which is not under
/root should be the best solution.

It's as good a place as any, although the mod-perl user list might
be a slightly better choice.

I run RH 8 (with all updates, but I never use their apache rpm's), so
hopefully I should be able to help...

If you downloaded libapreq from CPAN as "root", there's a very good
chance that libapreq is sitting in a directory for which only root
has access. The Apache::Test suite we use now does not work in this
setting.
Try downloading, building, and testing libapreq as a non-root
user, and see if you still see problems with the tests.
