you know that $r->prev returns a request object, and not anthing specific
(like the previous location), right? :)
if you're still unable to get it working, try pointing custom_response to a
script that gleans $r->prev->uri and returns the proper response based on
that... the whole error document cycle is hard to get until you get it.
keep playing and you'll see the light eventually :)
BTW, it's always good (at least I've found) to call
my $prev_uri = $r->prev ? $r->prev->uri : $r->uri;
because if the page/script is accessed directly then $r->prev is undefined
and you get a runtime error.
