set the no-cache HTTP header for the document.  For example if you
had

sub handler {
        local $r = Apache::Request->new(shift);
	$r->content_type('text/html');

	...

change it to

sub handler {
        local $r = Apache::Request->new(shift);
	$r->content_type('text/html');
	$r->no_cache(1);


That should disable any caching.
