Stas,
I've run into the same problem while testing with Apache::PAR.
Unfortunately, I don't think chown'ing the files will work (at least in
my case), because the directory itself (/root/.cpanplus on my box) isn't
accessible from a non-root user. I haven't worked on a solution yet,
but I was thinking the best thing to do might be to create a temp
directory (maybe with a prompt for the directory to create it under)
from the generated Makefile in the start_httpd section and copy any
content (and then remove it in kill_httpd)
Maybe this would be a good feature to add to the Apache::test and
Apache::Test modules?
Thanks,
