[users@httpd] getting setup with apache2/modperl2: odd problem with status codes

Hi,

I'm trying to get setup with apache2/modperl2 and am seeing an odd  
problem that I can't seem to find a resource/faq help on.

Dropping in mod_perl2 seems to change the status code of a simple CGI  
script:

     use CGI;
     use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);   # show fatal error messages  
in browser
     my $query = new CGI;
     my $status = "400 Bad Request";
     print $query->header( -type => 'text/plain', -status => $status );
     print "TESTING 400 BAD REQUEST";
     exit;

Under plain CGI, this returns a response:

     TESTING 400 BAD REQUEST

and a check of the response gives back 400.

However, under mod_perl2, I get back this

TESTING 400 BAD REQUEST<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0// 
EN">
<html><head>
<title>200 OK</title>
</head><body>
<h1>OK</h1>
<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not  
understand.<br />
</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 Server  
at localhost Port 8080</address>
</body></html>


The html message is from a 400 document, but the title (and response  
status) are 200 OK (not to mention their shouldn't be a html message  
for plain text). No amount of fiddling with options or googling has  
had any yield.

Any help would be appreciated.
