Thanks and yes, we're using mod_perl 1. In my situation, it's not merely a redirect. The code is supposed to redirect back to the login page after some very defined login problems...so I also need to be able to abort the login prior to the redirect. (If I use a return, the login isn't aborted.) Right now, the code handles the flow exactly the way we want, except for the error in the log, which we don't want to see.
