Alternatively you can do this from t/TEST.PL:

   $Apache::TestConfig::Argv{'-serverroot'} = catdir $FindBin::Bin, "..";

The main reason that the default docroot is t/ is because things like logs/, 
conf/, etc are conveniently placed under t/. I'm not quite sure why do you 
think that most people will want to have the ../t as the serverroot. The only 
drawback of using t/ is in the need to adjust @INC, to include ../t.
