Coin,

Sorry for the delay.

I wanted to investigate why 2.0.5, which now builds fine on perl 5.14,  
  segfault at apache startup, and 'apt-get source  
libapache2-mod-perl2'  gave me this version. I did not check the  
version returned;  nevertheless the same command on the dev package  
works well so i  retried with -4, giving the same result.

I did the same on amd64/unstable resulting in... FTBFS (due to tests),  
  seems i'm doomed.


Nevertheless, i just found the problem after diffing   
'Apache-Test/Makefile' in both builddirs. I did not bother creating a  
user and ran the build as root on my test Hurd VM (my bad), which  
resulted in a  different makefile generation.

While the developper's choice to deactivate tests in this case is not   
a problem, having the clean target depending on the test_clean one,   
which does not exist, is still a bug. It does not affect Debian in a   
"normal" situation though. Would you please forward this upstream?

Regards.
