ProxyPassReverse only changes URLs in the headers of the HTTP response, it does
not try and parse the body of the response (too expensive, and impossible to do
reliably). As a result, this looks like a config issue rather than a bug.

The general rule with reverse proxying is to keep the URI on the backend the
same as on the frontend. ie, configure your backend perl URL to be <Location
/test1/perl-status>. This ensure that when a backend website uses an absolute
URL, such as "/perl-status/blah", it does not "jump out" of your carefully
chosen URL space.

Ideally all backend reverse proxied websites should use relative links, however
in the real world this usually doesn't happen, thus the problem :(
