Thanks :)

The subroutine for the .mas files actually fails with the following error message:

Argument "Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND" isn't numeric.

Throwing a sprintf() around it won't work because of the limited parsing available of the perl code in the apache config file. :( The Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND is the number 404 so returning either one should result in the same way.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Apache2::Const;

printf "%d\n", Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND;
[download]

Results in:

404

It is 404 now, but that's subject to change at any time in any future apache release, so don't hardcode 404.

I think you need to add this before using the constant:

use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(NOT_FOUND);
[download]

Actually, Apache has nothing to do what the error codes are but I get your point :)
