This may be wrong but what way are you sending the header. if its a 
plain piece of text in the template then mod_perl will ignore it and 
guess the mime type which in your case is text. If you use the CGI 
module from withing the template to call its header method them the CGI 
module should detect mod_perl and handle it properly.

"Parctical mod_perl: Oreilly" has some stuff on this. Have a look at 
Chapter 6
