Response codes other than 200 OK

I'm trying to use HTTP::Response to create a response when my perl cgi program is run.

I keep getting "malformed header" errors:
.... malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.1 304 (Not Modified)

I set all the headers and possible content then finally issue
print $r->as_string();

Where $r is my HTTP::Response item.

So I can see exactly what is sent, I also use sendmail to send that exact thing as an e-mail message.

%mailmsg = (
...
Message => "---\n" . $r-> as_string() . "---\n",
);
sendmail %mailmsg;

and this is what I get in e-mail.... looks OK to me.

How can I return various HTTP result codes to clients? Not everything is "200 OK" simple.

I've tried including content-type: headers too, with no affect.
All I can find on google is to print the content-type header first, followed by a blank line... that woul just make all MY headers part of the response BODY... the clien would see a 200 OK status code. :-(

Thanks,
.
