This should print the Content-type: text/html header, then the word "testare" in the body, then the word "Location: http://localhost/";, but it doesn't happen this way.
I think this is a "feature" of CGI.pm.
If you call CGI->redirect inside mod_perl, then CGI.pm does an optimization for you:
sub header
...
if ($MOD_PERL and not $nph) {
my $r = Apache->request;
$r->send_cgi_header($header);
return '';
}If I am not mistaken, this send_cgi_header-way "overtakes" the printed-and-parsed headers on their way to the browser, and gets there first.

The page is redirected to http://localhost/ and after the redirection header, "Content-type: text/html" followed by "testare" are still printed.
I think this may have something to do with the fact that CGI.pm is loaded before anything by mod_perl, and who knows why, the method $q->redirect() is used before other print statements.
Please tell me how can I avoid this, and print the headers in order?
You could try either 1) using $q->header() instead of printing the content-type by hand, or 2) running in nph-mode (in which case you probably want to use $q->header anyway, since printing full HTTP headers by hand can be a bit tedious.)
Hope this helps,
