Oops. :-)

Up to you. I used it as an example because I don't really understand  
how Apache::TestMM and ModPerl::MM interact.

No, because if you're installing from CPAN.pm, it should install  
Apache::Test. I think. The build_class parameter is actually a much  
better choice, since you won't have to worry about that at all. Again,  
that should be in 0.27 of M::B (not sure of a due date).

No idea. I've never used Module::Install. You'll have to ask autrijus.

Ask Ken.

Uh....might be tricky. There's been a lot of debate about install paths  
on the Module-Build list lately. I'd ask there. The install paths are  
set up by the _set_install_paths() method in Module::Build::Base.

Again, I know nothing about Module::Install.
