sure.  real life case - I want to write a test that uses a CGI script. 
  write_perl_script() is the perfect function, since it can use it to 
determine the appropriate shebang line, whether my CGI script (and 
test) will be run on Unix or Win32.

and I didn't get the impression these three were private functions - 
they're in the Apache::TestUtil manpage :)
