Cryptic error when LWP isn't available
httpd-test gives a really cryptic error message when LWP isn't
installed:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
.../Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestHarness.pm line 121.
Be nice if we could fix that. It seems that $_ is trounced by
$self->run_t(). My perl-fu doesn't have an elegant solution other than
saving $_ before run_t() and then restoring it after. After I did that,
I got the 'LWP isn't available' warnings. *light bulb*
Once I installed LWP, the error disappeared for whatever reason.
Does anyone with perl-fu have a real solution? -- justin

You my try adding
local $_;
to $self->run_t()

I ditched $_, see if it solves the problem.
