Sorry Michael, I don't understand where did you copy that $err->handle 
code from, this is not how it works. Take a look at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/RequestIO.html#C_sendfile_

and some examples in the test: t/response/TestAPI/sendfile.pm

May I ask where did you take this code from?
