Apache2::HttpEquiv provides a PerlFixupHandler for mod_perl 2 that turns
C<< <meta http-equiv="Header-Name" content="Header Value"> >> into an actual
HTTP header.  It also looks for C<< <meta charset="..."> >> and uses it to
set the Content-Type to C<text/html; charset=...>.

If the file claims its Content-Type is 'text/xhtml', the Content-Type
is set to 'text/html' instead.  'text/xhtml' is not a valid
Content-Type, and any file that claims it is probably too broken to
parse as 'application/xhtml+xml'.

This works only for static HTML files (that Apache has identified as
'text/html').  If you're generating dynamic content, you should be
generating the appropriate Content-Type and other headers at the same
