I'm sorry, i'm not able to reproduce this behaviour with CPANPLUS 0.049;
see a copy of the commands+output i've used below the sig
What version of CPANPLUS are you using?

I'm not getting this question -- Is this during 'perl Makefile.PL',
because that one is /always/ run with verbose = 1 to allow for
interactive makefile.pls

I'm still not sure /what/ is supposedly broken, since Apache::Test does
not behave in the way you describe for me.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
!!! Makefile.PL has found old copies of Apache/test.pm which will
be removed during 'make install' to prevent collisions with
Apache::Test:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/mach/Apache/test.pm
CPAN authors are advised to either use Apache::testold or port their
test suite to Apache::Test which works with both mod_perl generations.
Writing Makefile for Apache::Test
/usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib t/TEST -clean
APACHE_TEST_GROUP= APACHE_TEST_PORT= APACHE_TEST_APXS=
APACHE_TEST_USER= APACHE_TEST_HTTPD= /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch
-Iblib/lib t/TEST -bugreport -verbose=0
We are now going to configure the Apache-Test framework.
This configuration process needs to be done only once.
First we need to know where the 'httpd' executable is located.
If you have more than one Apache server is installed, make sure
you supply the path to the one you are going to use for testing.
You can always override this setting at run time via the '-httpd'
option. For example:
% t/TEST -httpd /path/to/alternative/httpd
or via the environment variable APACHE_TEST_HTTPD. For example:
% APACHE_TEST_HTTPD=/path/to/alternative/httpd t/TEST
If for some reason you want to skip the test suite, type: skip
Please provide a full path to 'httpd' executable:
[] /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things. However it's not available on all platforms,
therefore it's optional.
If you don't have it installed it's not a problem. Just press Enter.
Notice that if you have Apache 2.x installed that script could be
called as 'apxs2'.
If you have more than one Apache server is installed, make sure you
supply the path to the apxs script you are going to use for testing.
You can always override this setting at run time via the '-apxs'
option. For example:
% t/TEST -apxs /path/to/alternative/apxs
or via the environment variable APACHE_TEST_APXS. For example:
% APACHE_TEST_APXS=/path/to/alternative/apxs t/TEST
Please provide a full path to (optional) 'apxs' executable:

0.048, which was the latest when I've submitted this report. I've upgraded to
0.049 and the problem is still there.

This happens during 'make test'. A-T gives users a chance to skip the test
suite once it's started, when certain conditions occur.
To reproduce it you need to run as 'root' and have cpanplus build directory
under /root/ or somewhere else where normal users can't read/write. Please let
me know if you need any other help to reproduce it.

Please see above.
