Yes, that works. Is there any reason (besides tuits) that these docs
aren't in the POD?

Also another gripe - wouldn't it be nicer to skip tests if httpd can't be
found, rather than fail them? Or perhaps prompt to provide a path to
httpd? And that value could be stored in t/TEST, so I don't have to set an
environment variable every time I run the tests.

If this actually is available I couldn't find it documented in the POD,
but more importantly, when httpd can't be found the error should say
something about how you can fix the problem (setting env vars, or passing
a flag, or just pointing to the right docs).

Again, sorry for no patch. I'll buy you a beer in Paris instead, Stas.
