It has nothing to do with either A-T or mod_perl, A-T just per-uses the 
globally installed httpd.conf for its configuration. So the problem is 
there. Change that file (you can see exactly which one by running t/TEST 
-conf -trace=debug) to do the right thing and everything will work just fine.

Please let us know if that was indeed the case.
