Joe, I thought you've reverted to use the old test suite?

Matt, Apache::Test may not work when run under root, because Apache won't let 
you start the server as 'User root' so it tries to use 'nobody' or something 
else as the username the server runs under, which of course has no perms to 
access files created by root and hence the problem.

I suppose the solution is to chown all the autogenerated files to that chosen 
user and then the issue will be resolved. Meanwhile please try to run the test 
suite as non-root.
