Instead of using MP2 syntax, etc, we're still using:
print "Content-type: $type\n\n";
print "blah";
and in sending redirects, we use stuff like:
print "Location: $url\n\n";
Is this a problem or is it just bad style?
What reasons are there to continue our port to use the correct response
handler syntax, etc?

It's slightly slower. Effectively those headers have to be re-parsed by
Apache::Registry. Another example is that $r->print is faster than a plain
print.
Although Apache::Registry gives a good speed boost by itself, you need to
make use of the mod_perl API to actually get the best out of it.
The next step from there is not using Apache::Registry at all, but putting
mod_perl handlers into their own modules/packages. However there's more of a
change here to other ways of working - for example you need to restart
server to introduce code changes.
