If you turn PerlSendHeader off, you are responsible for sending the
headers yourself.  In the Apache API, and mod_perl's incarnation of
it, sending the headers is achieved by calling $r->send_http_header,
after having set the header values using calls such as
$r->content_type("text/html").  Read 'perldoc Apache' to see all the
stuff that you can put into the headers in this way.

With PerlSendHeader on, mod_perl emulates mod_cgi by slurping up the
initial non-blank lines from your output and doing the above for you,
behind the scenes.

That should be

use Apache;
my $r = Apache::Request;
$r->content_type('text/html');
$r->send_http_header;
$r->print('Hi.');
