First off, thanks to davis, your time has been very valuable.
I should have clarified my current non-modperl status
in my earlier post.
Sadly i can't test under mod_perl right now.
But, if anybodies is curious, I tested
the code below successfully on
Win2k apache and linux apache.
Running perl 5.005 sans mod_perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "Location:http://www.google.com\n\n";
exit;

Also, note on both platforms,
adding the line
print "HTTP/1.1 302 Moved\n";
causes a mal-formed header error.

The Motto of the story...
use da CGI module!
