A solution is to have the the mod_perl server listen on two different
ports (.i.e 8000 and 8001) and have the mod_rewrite proxy rule in the
regular server redirect to port 8000 and the mod_rewrite proxy rule in
the SSL virtual host redirect to port 8001. In the mod_perl server
then just check the PORT variable to tell if the connect is encrypted
or not.
