Dispatch runs under normal CGI and mod_perl (and needs to do different 
things under each) so it needs to run it's tests against mod_perl. This 
is done with Apache::Test, which does all it can to start Apache 
w/mod_perl (hence the ulimit juggling).

It failed the tests. This usually means something is strange with your 
mod_perl setup. Can you run the tests under verbose to get more output? 
Also, there's this line:

 > [  error] error running tests (please examine t/logs/error_log)

So looking in there would also reveal more information as to why it failed.
