Problem with mod_perl/apache Headers

[Phil's Yahoo]

i have traced the problem with the headers by using "curl -v" on the address
and i think the problem is because after apache has sent the headers it 
inserts a empty
line so that when i print headers in perl i just writes the text and 
egnores the headers.
the following is the exact output of the page.
START

any ideas how to remove this extra line or how to append the header onto 
the end of the headers???
