Thanks. I have switched my habits as you suggested and am glad to be
taking advantage of the more efficient route. I stopped
using the solution of passing the httpd path into the Makefile.PL
command because it stopped working for me. I suspect that I forgot to
include the Apache::TestMM::filter_args() module :(.

I'll second the motion that Geoff's article and skeleton frameworks
should be mentioned at the top of the perl.apache.org testing document
(not just listed in the References). His article is better laid out for
newcomers like myself to get into this framework without having to
understand all of the ins and outs that have been documented on the
"Running & Developing..." page. That page is an awesome resource once
someone has a basic environment working and is ready to do more advanced
testing.

No problems. I'd prefer to reconfigure my systems to maintain
consistency across the testing environment.


Cheers!
William
