[Buffalo-pm] mod_perl2, pass control back to apache?

[Ben. B.]

I'm not 100% sure but I think what you're looking for is the DECLINED
constant. What you would do is have your request object return
DECLINED then apache would take over again. I learned this trick while
using mod_perl in conjunction with HTML::Mason
