The C<Apache::TestRun> package controls the configuration and running
of the test suite.

=head1 METHODS

Several methods are sub-classable, if the default behavior should be
changed.

=head2 C<bug_report>

The C<bug_report()> method is executed when C<t/TEST> was executed
with the C<-bugreport> option, and C<make test> (or C<t/TEST>)
fail. Normally this is callback which you can use to tell the user how
to deal with the problem, e.g. suggesting to read some document or
email some details to someone who can take care of it. By default
nothing is executed.

The C<-bugreport> option is needed so this feature won't become
annoying to developers themselves. It's automatically added to the
C<run_tests> target in F<Makefile>. So if you repeateadly have to test
your code, just don't use C<make test> but run C<t/TEST>
directly. Here is an example of a custom C<t/TEST>

  My::TestRun->new->run(@ARGV);

  package My::TestRun;
  use base 'Apache::TestRun';

  sub bug_report {
      my $self = shift;

      print <<EOI;
  +--------------------------------------------------------+
  | Please file a bug report: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ |
  +--------------------------------------------------------+
  EOI
  }

=head2 C<pre_configure>

The C<pre_configure()> method is executed before the configuration for
C<Apache::Test> is generated. So if you need to adjust the setup
before I<httpd.conf> and other files are autogenerated, this is the
right place to do so.

For example if you don't want to inherit a LoadModule directive for
I<mod_apreq.so> but to make sure that the local version is used, you
can sub-class C<Apache::TestRun> and override this method in
I<t/TEST.PL>:

  package My::TestRun;
  use base 'Apache::TestRun';
  use Apache::TestConfig;
  __PACKAGE__->new->run(@ARGV);

  sub pre_configure {
      my $self = shift;
      # Don't load an installed mod_apreq
      Apache::TestConfig::autoconfig_skip_module_add('mod_apreq.c');

      $self->SUPER::pre_configure();
  }

Notice that the extension is I<.c>, and not I<.so>.

Don't forget to run the super class' c<pre_configure()> method.
