I made the change, but didn't see the output. In fact, I don't think any of
the logging output is actually being generated. It may be because my
mod_perl wasn't compiled with the proper switches for this module. I just
used the mod_perl that was configured with the host. I re-read the perldoc
and noticed this:

"This is alpha software, and as such has not been tested on multiple
platforms or environments for security, stability or other concerns. It
requires PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS=1, PERL_LOG_API=1, PERL_HANDLER=1, and
maybe other hooks to function properly."

Which makes me think I should look at the way mod_perl was compiled on my
box.

But, just in case it helps, I changed the $log->debug to just a print STDERR
and got:

uri: /admin

Thanks for the help
