Wrong error code
When not using 'EMBPERL_OBJECT_FALLBACK' an error code 500 is returned
instead of 404. When using 'EMBPERL_OBJECT_FALLBACK' success (200) is
returned instead of 404.
Is there a way to get the normal 404 error from apache? This is especially
a problem, because only URLs ending on *.html are going through Embperl in
my setup so there is a different error message for non-existing files
depending on whether they end in *.html or not. And even this is not
consistent.
http://www.example.com/foo/bar.html will result in an apache error message
if 'foo' doesn't exist and in an Embperl error message if 'foo' exists, but
'bar.html' doesn't.

I prefer the current solution, but a simple soution has just come to my
mind. Somewhere in your fallback page write
$req_rec -> status (404) ;
and it should return the 404 status

I still think this is wrong. The page doesn't exist, so it should return 404
so that spiders and such do the right thing. And for humans a nice layouted
page is returned. At least, it should be configurable.

Yes, this is wrong. I put it on the todo list for the next release

That is is intented behaviour. The fallback page should be displayed and not
an error page.
To dispaly custom error pages and get the status code use the Apache
ErrorDocument directive.
