It's a marvellous package. Highly recommended.

I just reinstalled this same version. See below.

Makefile.PL failed for me when trying to automatically install Apache::Test.
Forget Makefile.PL.

Build.PL recommends Apache::Test so I installed it with:
shell> perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::Test'

After that, Build.PL worked perfectly.

Do you have Module::Build installed? If not, install it as I did with
Apache::Test. Do Apache::Test too, of course. Then try again, and tell
us what happens.
