I did some more digging...
it seems that any request that is served by the default Apache content
handler is ok - only those that are processed by mod_perl (well, anything
that isn't the default) seem to be affected.
this doesn't seem quite right to me - if Apache can determine r->filename
and stat the file for r->finfo, then it ought to be setting r->mtime, right?
so maybe somewhere in http_request.c/get_path_info there needs to be a fix?
or maybe I'm missing some history here...

Subject: missing mtime in request rec?
hi all...
can somebody check the results of $r->mtime for me? something like
PerlCleanupHandler 'sub {warn "*** time***",
Apache::Util::ht_time(shift->mtime)};'
ought to do the trick. I have yet to see a case today where that reads
other than the start of the epoch. some minmial searching through the
Apache code seems to indicate that r->mtime is never populated in the
request record, but I am most certainly missing something...
I was really trying to get $r->set_last_modified() to work as
documented,
then traced it back to an empty $r->mtime...
thanks...
