to seriously consider looking through the mod_perl docs to see if
there's a way to make sure a reader understands that if they want to do
anything with STDOUT .. that they can't.
The tied STDOUT is actually pretty well-documented in my opinion:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_perl_script_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#STDIN__STDOUT_and_STDERR_streams
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/SubProcess.html#C_spawn_proc_prog_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestIO.html
There's more here about how this affects forking and system():
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Starting_a_Long_Running_External_Program
If there's a place in the docs where you think it would be relevant but
it isn't mentioned, you're more than welcome to send in a correction.
There are instructions for checking out the docs source on the website.
