The http-equiv headers are a convenient fiction, i.e. they exist, but 
the browsers don't necessarily pay any attention to them, nor does the 
server change which HTTP headers will be sent based on the http-equiv 
headers.

However, you can send arbitrary headers as desired:

http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/1.05/Devel.html#sending_http_headers

as long as you make sure that happens before any other output is sent. 
This page seems very useful as well:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/correct_headers/correct_headers.html

I found through lots of testing (and swearing) that having all HTTP 
three headers I mentioned was ideal for getting all common browsers to 
behave.  You are testing with Opera, too, aren't you.  And if you want 
to cry, try and get someone to test with Safari...
