Yes, what I'm trying to achieve is get Apache::Registry to send custom 
404 pages - just like under mod_cgi.
   

I assume that means you want to be able to run the exact same script
under mod_cgi?
Well, yes - otherwise i'd be using straight mod_perl handlers.

And you don't want to make this script be your
ErrorDocument?
I don't understand this part. Basically the script uses PATH_INFO to 
simulate a file structure.

For example, if you request '/foo/' it is really cgi-bin/script.cgi/foo/.

Now /foo/ might be an existing document, in which case I need to return 
a 200 OK.

But it might not exist, in which case I need to send a 404 and a custom 
error page.

If you're curious about why I'm trying to do this, it's on CPAN so you 
can take a look for yourself:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install MKDoc::Core'

Installing a sample site is not too hard:

http://search.cpan.org/~jhiver/MKDoc-Core-0.1/lib/MKDoc/Core/Article/Installation.pm

At the moment I'm using the horrible 'empty ErrorDocument' hack... but 
it's a hack :(

Basically, you need to turn off PerlSendHeader and
manage the headers yourself.  One thing you could do is use the header()
function in CGI.pm. This produces the same results under mod_cgi.
 

So basically turning off PerlSendHeader and using CGI.pm. Interesting. 
I'll give it a shot.
