This would seem to be the case, and Chapter six says:

"The PerlSendHeader On directive tells mod_perl to intercept anything that looks 
like a header line (such as Content-Type: text/plain) and automatically turn it 
in to a correctly formatted HTTP header, much like CGI scripts running under 
mod_cgi. This feature allows you to keep your CGI scripts unmodified. "

I'm using mod_perl2 and have PerlOptions +ParseHeaders set which I assume is the 
same.

Any idea why the output from TT2's "process" call isn't intercepted while a 
standard print "Content-type: text/html\n\n;" is?  Is the output redirected to 
<STDOUT> rather than via 'print' ?

And of course is there an elegant way of sending headers per individual template?
