Why are you using HTTP::Response?  That is the class for representing responses
from the server in LWP, the HTTP client module.  It is not for generating
responses on the server-side.

If you are using CGI, then use the header() method.  It takes a -status option.

If you are using mod_perl, it is $r->status().  Apache2::Const for mod_perl2
contains constants for the different statuses like OK.
