# Default handler subroutine name
sub handler
{
   # Get the Apache request object
   my $r = shift;
   # Send an appropriate MIME header
   $r->content_type("text/html");
   $r->send_http_header;
   # Send the output
   $r->print("<HTML><Head><Title>");
   $r->print("Testing, testing!");
   $r->print("</Title></Head>");
   $r->print("<Body>");
   $r->print("<H1>Testing, testing!</H1>");
   $r->print("</Body></HTML>");
