Maybe something also useful to point out : if you are using Apache 2.x + 
mod_perl 2.x and VirtualHost's, then most perl error messages will 
appear in the error log of the VirtualHost "running" the script/handler 
(*)(as one would expect), but some do appear in the "main" server's 
error log.  I never could figure out what determines the choice really.

"Invalid/Incomplete headers from script" (or something similar) is one 
of those.  Warnings about concatenating an undef value with a string 
also, as I recall.



(*) I guess canonically, I should have said : the error log file 
configured for the VirtualHost whose configuration was selected to 
process the request for which the script/handler runs.
But that was quite a mouthful.
