Mod-jk worker not being called after calling Perl handler

I am trying to look at how handlers work so I created a very simple
perl handler that just return "OK". And I added an entry "PerlModule"
and the "PerlHandler". I also was able to build mod_perl2.so. When I
do a GET request with handler ON I see that Handler gets called but
then the call is not going further to the mod-jk worker. Can someone
please tell me what might be going on? I thought OK will continue down
the cycle.
