Yes, that shouldn't be a problem.
So currently we are down to two options:
1) Integrate test.pm in Test.pm. I think we should bundle Apache::Test with
future versions of mod_perl to make the maintenance simple and remove the
original Apache::test from it.
2) Rename Apache::Test to Apache::Tester (or else) to resolve the collision.
Rename the distro Apache-Test to Apache-TestHarness (or else) to avoid confusion.
Looks like if we can provide a clean implementation of (1) that's would be the
best solution. Randy says that it shouldn't be a problem with winFU. If David
says that it's cool with MacOSX, let's try to take this route then.
