in the mod_perl source tree, add this to t/conf/httpd.conf
<Files ~ "\.bb$">
   PerlHandler          Apache::RegistryBB
   SetHandler perl-script
</Files>

and create this file called test.bb in t/docs:
shift->send_http_header;

print "hi\n";

the run:
% make start_httpd
% GET http://localhost:8529/test.bb
% perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://localhost:8529/test.bb" for 1..3'
(what do you see here?)
% make kill_httpd
