IMHO there should be a switch for nph

I tried to modify SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm. Since I hardly have any experience at patching others' code, I thought it would be a good idea to ask for advice here instead of submitting a possibly wrong bug report/fix. Well, this is the original code of S::T::H::CGI::handle:

And I applied these changes:

   # imitate nph- cgi for IIS (pointed by Murray Nesbitt)
-  my $status = defined($ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}) && $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTW
+ARE'}=~/IIS/
-    ? $ENV{SERVER_PROTOCOL} || 'HTTP/1.0' : 'Status:';
+  my $status;
+  if ($self->{'nph'}) {
+    $status = $ENV{SERVER_PROTOCOL} || 'HTTP/1.0';
+  } else {
+    $status = defined($ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}) && $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWA
+RE'}=~/IIS/
+      ? $ENV{SERVER_PROTOCOL} || 'HTTP/1.0' : 'Status:';
+  }
   my $code = $self->response->code;

Plus, I added a nph function:

sub nph {
  my $self = shift;

  $self->{'nph'} = 1;
  return $self;
}
[download]

So now, I just add a call to nph and I get a proper HTTP response:

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
        ->dispatch_to ('/home/hue/lang/perl/modules', 'HelloWorld')
        ->nph
        ->handle;
[download]

Do you monks thing it's ok to submit this? Thank you for your valuable input.

I think that's perfectly ok for submission.
