Hi Francisco, Isn't that achieved by returning 'Apache2::Const::DECLINED'? You mention that you have tried a number of return values in an attempt to get this behaviour -- if you've tried this, what's happened instead of normal execution? Incidentally, if you're looking for malicious requests, you may get better results if you use a PerlPostReadRequestHandler or PerlHeaderParserHandler (depending on whether you need to see pre- or post-rewrite requests), or PerlFixupHandler (if you only want to handle post-authorization/authentication requests). All 3 of those phases are "RUN_ALL" type, rather than "RUN_FIRST" type (which is what PerlResponseHandler is), so returning Apache2::Const::OK from a handler for those phases only means "I've completed successfully" rather than "processing is now done" - but you can still return HTTP codes (like Apache2::Const::HTTP_FORBIDDEN) to interrupt the normal execution path.
