Apache: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition

Test

Having built mod_perl, you should then test the result with make test. This process does its own arcane stuff, skipping various tests that are inappropriate for your platform. Hopefully it ends with the cheerful message “All tests successful...” If it finds problems, it writes them to the file ...t/logs/error_log. You can now do make install on the Perl side — and again on the Apache side — and copy the new httpd, perhaps as httpd.perl to the directory where your executables live — as described earlier.
