Has anyone had experience of using mod_perl OutputFilters with

I've learnt a lot about bucket brigades - but for every two steps
forward it's one step back...
Scenario:
static page - being wrapped with an output filter - works with or
without mod_deflate
dynamic page - either Perl or PHP, without mod_deflate the output of
the page gets re-processed and the correct HTML is produced, but with
mod_deflate the content returned is the unwrapped output (i.e. the
output before the output filter has been actioned?)
any ideas or ways to resolve this...
below is my code....
package Sanger::Web::DecoratePage;

Sorry, I did not go through your code.
I assume however that this code has some way of detecting whether it
should do something to this output or not.
If mod_deflate sees the output first however, it will compress it.
Your filter, if it comes second, may not recognise this compressed
output anymore, and thus do nothing but let it through. Same for PHP.
Alternatively, mod_deflate is being a bad boy, and disables any filters
that may come after it. In a way this would be justified, because it
really needs to be at the end of the chain.
Unfortunately, I am rich in guesses but poor in solutions.
According to the documentation - mod_deflate should be being run after
my filter as mod_deflate is a connection filter where mine is request
filter!
My filter is being run - and getting the right input content - observed as I
was dumping the HTML coming in and going out!
