perl-script is mod_perl
default-handler is the Apache default (to just send the document)
cgi-script is mod_cgi
so, if you want mod_cgi to do it, try
$r->handler('cgi-script');
return DECLINED;
but I couldn't get that to work from a Registry script, since I
suspect that it's too late to alter the course of the request via
$r->handler(). a PerlFixupHandler is generally a good place to alter
$r->handler() to perhaps you can put your logic there instead.
we talk about $r->handler() a bit in chapter 14 in the Cookbook, and
14.1 has a list of modules and their corresponding handler name.
