Barry, I'm not sure I understand the last paragraph, I download 
Apache-Wyrd-0.82 and tested it just fine. I see:

ServerRoot   "/tmp/Apache-Wyrd-0.82/t"
DocumentRoot "/tmp/Apache-Wyrd-0.82/t/htdocs"

in the autogenerated t/conf/httpd.conf

Where does that phrase:

  because the document root is the same as the default
  document root on that server, so documents under ...

fit into the picture? Which aliases are you talking about?

---------------

BTW, i see you hardcode the port and hostname in extra.conf.in. You should use:

   @ServerName@:@Port@/login.html

instead, since they can be different from the default ones.

Also, I'm not sure why you needed:

	use lib '@ServerRoot@/../blib/lib';

it should be already in @INC.

If you want to test against live modules, move your Wyrd main dir into 
lib/Wyrd and run the tests with env var APACHE_TEST_LIVE_DEV=1.
