There's no easy way to run the source script to see the output that I 
know of, as it , as it is a mod_perl script that needs the Apache 
environment.  Anyone else got a suggestion?

Are you sure that your Apache setup is picking up & obeying the 
.htaccess file from the lxr distribution?  That should set things up so 
that the header is OK - the normal problem reported is people seeing an 
extra header, not a Bad Header error.

Also, what version of Apache are you using?  Apache used to parse 
headers from CGI scripts, it should no longer be doing so if you're 
using a modern version.

I suggest doing some googling for "bad header" and "nph cgi" to find out 
more about how Apache is handling script output.

I've also had a look at your lxr.conf, and there's a couple of potential 
problems:

- the 'sourceroot' variable should be set to an absolute path, it's not 
relative to any of the other paths
- you probably don't need the 'strip' variable to be set

Hope this helps you on your way. 

Cheers,

Malcolm
