Your proposal works.
Then, how to solve "the problem with "\n\n" ? To be compatible It should
also work.
This example would work only if you have PerlSendHeader set to 'On'
in the
config file. Is it On? May be this is not a problem "\r\n", if this
is
your case
Generally "\n\n" is enough for most (all?) of the widely used
browsers
(clients), but to be complient with HTTP RFCs one has to use
"\r\n\r\n".
what do you get when you replace this mod_cgi'ish header sending
with
true mod_perl'ish:
my $r = shift;
$r->content_type('text/html');
$r->send_http_header;
or simpler:
my $r = shift;
$r->send_http_header('text/html');
Does it work?
