Need help installing Scoop

So close, and yet so far. The install.pl script for Scoop is pretty dang amazing. Here's what apachectl says when I ask it to do configtest:

PerlSetVar takes two arguments, Perl config var and value

Whuzza?

UPDATE: OK, that was dumb. If I'd followed the instructions I could have avoided the above error. Thanks to crysflame on #joiito for 'splaining it to me.

Here's the problem now:

Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t

I thought that was a reboot command for Apache?

I notice you tried to install DBD::mSQL but Apache::DBI is trying to use DBD::mysql -- have you successfully installed DBD::mysql? You might need to download the latest tarball from http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/ and do the perl Makefile.PL && make all test install steps yourself -- sometimes it wants various system libraries and headers to work properly.

Let me know how it goes.
