Yep, its a configurable option.

PerlSendHeader On
PerlSendHeader On tells the server to send an HTTP header to the
browser on every script invocation. You will want to turn this off for
nph (non-parsed-headers) scripts.
The PerlSendHeader On setting invokes ap_send_http_header() after
parsing your script headers. It is only meant for CGI emulation, and
to send the HTTP header it's always better either to use $q->header
from the CGI.pm module or to use $r->send_http_header using the Apache
Perl API.
