Not entirely true, a CGI script (mod_cgid?) can generate an internal redirect

Both mod_cgi and mod_cgid contain this code:

Interesting. Now that I look at what Anthony wanted to do though, it
doesn't seem very useful for his case, since he wants to collect the
output. In fact, an internal_redirect in general is not right for
that. You need a subrequest instead.
As for Modperl::Registry, you need to use the perl-script handler and enable
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders. Then the same approach works also for Registry
scripts, see modperl_cgi.c:modperl_cgi_header_parse().
In ModPerl::Registry, you don't need to resort to tricks like that.
You get passed an Apache2::RequestRec object to do whatever you like
with.
