Printing beforehand wouldn't allow me to use the CGI parameters to 
determine the output. :)

No dice.

# BEGIN CODE BLOCK
  my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);

  $r->content_type('text/html');
  $r->print("test<br />\n");
# END CODE BLOCK

The content-type doesn't even show up in this case.

If I put the $r->content_type() and $r->print() before the $req object 
is created, *still* nothing shows up.
