yes.  in the Apache-Test setup below I made the following comments in
t/conf/extra.conf.in

  # PerlModule Devel::Profiler::Apache
  # will not work, since the profiler is intialized
  # in Devel::Profiler::Apache::import(), which is
  # left uncalled when loaded via PerlModule

I don't see that with the below version, which is all I have.

try the latest profiler version from sourceforge cvs

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/devel-profiler

you can get anonymous cvs access following these instructions

  http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=53745

the Apache-Test based test suite currently has one failure for me, but I
haven't touched that code in a while and CGI.pm has changed a bit since I
wrote it.  but in any case you can examine the stuff in t/conf to see how I
set it up so that it works properly.
