in reply to Need to respond with a 403 status code?

Learn how to set up the appropriate Apache configuration for error pages. This isn't a Perl problem - it's an Apache problem.

You can have the error page be a CGI script, but the actual hookup is an Apache config.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    That would normally be the correct answer, but the OP is "faking" a 403, not dealing with real 403's. From what I understand, the OP is using an existing script and throwing a 403 based on input. So unless the script is always called by a real 403 then this would not work (well).
