Hi,
Find attached (and inline) a patch for smoother running of "make test" when running as a non-privileged user. This issue came to light while
running Gentoo Linux. The Gentoo package system "portage" has the ability
to run as a non-root user while building packages. Some file locations
were not accessible to that non-root user while running make test. E.g.,
on Gentoo, mod_cgid defaults to using /var/run/cgisock for its sockets,
however, the permissions for /var/run/cgisock on Gentoo are:
srwx------ 1 apache root 0 Oct 1 13:14 /var/run/cgisock
I used the ScriptSock directive to tell mod_cgid to make the socket file within the self-contained directory tree.
Along the same lines, CGI.pm likes to create new temp files in /tmp. I used the SetEnv directive to set TMPDIR environemnt variable to force it to create the temp files in a self-contained directory tree.
Comments are welcome. And we really should have a newline at the end of ModPerl-Registry/t/conf/extra.conf.in
certainly, but does it break anything?
[...]
+SetEnv TMPDIR /tmp
This is not a portable change. If you have a particular problem with regards to temp dir it needs to be solved where it arises (e.g. using File::Temp), but you don't tell what the problem is, so I can't give you a solution.

We don't use mod_cgi in the mod_perl test suite. It's just a left-over from testing. Does this patch fix things for you?
