How to check for Apache modules through Apache::Test

[Trevor Schellhorn <tr...@marketingtips.com>]

I am wanting to make sure that the Apache server being used for 
the tests has the proper Apache modules loaded for the mod_perl 
module I am testing to work.

Specifically for the code that I am working on now, I want to 
make sure the autoindex shared module is available.  I also want 
to make sure that the module is loaded into the server even if 
the main Apache server configuration doesn't have it loaded in. 
Is it possible to do this?

In the code you check with 'need' in the plan() call. Check the 
Apache::Test manpage or:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html#Skipping_a_Whole_Test
(the latter is a bit outdated)

In the configuration, you just add it like so:

<IfModule mod_log_config.c>
     TransferLog /home/stas/apache.org/modperl-2.0/t/logs/access_log
</IfModule>
