Apache::Request will not install

hey all,

i see from the list that other people have had this problem, but i have not
seen anyone posting a solution. my apologies if i missed it.

my platform is :
RH 7.3
apache_1.3.27
mod_perl-1.28
perl, v5.8.0

Problem:

Apache::Request fails on install. (more specifically, it’s Apache::Test that
fails) i tried manually installing Apache::Test with “perl -MCPAN -e
’install Apache::Test’” and it failed with the output below:

Running make test
/usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib
t/TEST -clean
*** setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c unlimited; t/TEST -clean

…i have RT 3.0.1 running on a similar RH 7.3 system with
apache_1.3.23
mod_perl-1.26
perl 5.6.1

however, when i set up that system, Apache::Test was not required for some
reason.

all help is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Paul Grondahl
