I'm not sure, but i don't think you can really do that in mp2, i think 
you need to read about how filters work in mp2, then do something like

PerlResponseHandler Module::Test1
PerlOutputFilter Module::Test2

where Module::Test2 has been rewritten using the filter API.  Geoff 
Young gave a talk about filters at an apachecon many moons ago that i 
found particularly helpful, you can still find the slides here:
