Two questions: 

1. Does this technique make it faster to run the test suite than using a
   real Apache? 

2. What about customizing the port number? [ checks. ] I can answer this
   one myself: $server->port($my_personal_port_no).

Would it be better to put this in an END block? I'm not sure if this
signal gets thrown at a normal exit. I use END blocks in test scripts
for stuff like this and they work well. 

I think END blocks works whether the death is premature or not.
