As far as I know return codes are ignored. This means that all
logging (and cleanup) handlers are called for each request.

Apache::LogFile (section 16.2) is what you are looking for. It gives
you a global filehandle that you can print to as much as you care to.

You might also want to consider setting a notes value for each piece
of information you want to log. This is detailed in section 16.4 of
the cookbook. It's dead simple, just add this to your httpd.conf:
LogFormat "%{RPC_NAME}n %{RPC_ARGS}n %{RPC_RESULTS}n" rpc_log_format
<Location /RPCSERV>
CustomLog logs/rpc_log rpc_log_format
</Location>
and then somewhere in your code do this:
$r->notes('RPC_NAME', $cow);
$r->notes('RPC_ARGS', $moo);
$r->notes('RPC_RESULTS', $milk);
