While this is cool, I'm not sure that it wouldn't cause other problems. For
instance, all bad links etc, would not result in a 404, but rather be redirected
to your script which will then probably emit a 500 error since it's not prepared
to handle a request for /non_existant.gif.
Maybe instead of checking for the existence of the file, maybe you should check
it's type, or extension.

You could write a custom perl handler and do the redirection, etc yourself. But
as far as I know, this needs to be done at the apache level (ie, using mod_perl,
mod_rewrite, httpd.conf etc) and can't simply be done at the perl level. So if
you don't have access to the apache running (ie, shared hosting) then you're out
of luck.
