The problem originates within Apache, not us. FWIW, the cvs version of Apache::Test warns you early whether this is going to work or not, rather than just failing during 'make test'. Ideas how to solve this are *very* welcome. As of this moment per your observation you need to either put the data in the directory readable by the apache user, or build/run the tests as a non-root. If you configure your CPAN to put the build dir not under /root, but let's say /tmp/ (probably can come up with a better choice), it'll work. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
