how to debug 'status 500'

Hi,

I'm developing a mod_perl app with LWP but whenever I try to get a
response object [$res = $UA->request($req);] I get the following error:

"Cannot get http://foor.com (status 500 (in cleanup))" -- 

	unless ($res->is_success) {
		print "Cannot get $url (status ",
               $res->code, " ", $res->message,")\n";
	}

..no matter what I specify as the request object ($url). This happens 
under Apache/1.3.1 & mod_perl/1.24. (But does NOT happen with simple shell
scripts on the same machine.)

Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong, or give me a pointer on how to
figure out exactly what's failing? 

Thanks,
Abe
