NAME
   HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Apache - Plugin for local web file tests

DESCRIPTION
   This plugin adds support for local web file test mode to HTTP::WebTest. In
   this mode Apache is started on a private/dynamic port with a configuration
   file in a temporary directory and HTTP::WebTest runs its tests against
   local web files using this temporary local instance of Apache.

RESTRICTIONS / BUGS
   Local file test mode unlikely to work on Win32 systems (at least it have
   never been tested by authors there and nobody confirmed it to work).

AUTHORS
   Richard Anderson <[email protected]> wrote HTTP::WebTest 1.xx,
   using some ideas from the CPAN Monkeywrench module.

   Ilya Martynov <[email protected]> implemented the plug-in concept, the
   extended API and completely rewrote HTTP::WebTest.

   Later this plugin module was removed from HTTP::WebTest distribution and
   released separately.
