Thinking about it, it actually makes sense to modify the header in the "request_prepare" phase. Since, while I'm modifying the header I'm still in the "prepare" phase.

So other than using "request_prepare" to solve my problem, I think there is rationale behind using it over "request_send"

According to the lwp documentation, the signature of @_ is the same, header, useragent, and the handler. "sub { my($request, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }"

I'm not sure what you're trying to show me. You get the same error I do. Why does dumping a variable cause it to cause an error? In calling "print Dumper @_" where am I calling request?

Add to that I change handlers without changing code and dumping @_ doesn't generate an error. According to the LWP docs the @_ has the same signature.
