If you are going to print your own headers to mod_perl then you must
send the OK response header first like so :
print qq(HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n) ;
print qq(Content-Type: text/html\n\n);
If you do not mod_perl says 'Hey, I did not get a valid header!' and
goes about printing its own before it even looks at what you are
outputting.
I generally use CGI.pm and its $q->header method which solves the
problem in one easy line.
