more or less..., CleanupHandler isn't quite an Apache Hook, but get's called
when Apache cleans up his request data.

mod_perl doesn't get control outside of a Apache hooks (and resource
cleanup). The only addtional possibility where mod_perl could step in, would
be to use Ralf Engelschalls EAPI. This provides some additional hooks, where
Apache modules can register handler for it, but it's not part of the
standard Apache distribution.

Looks like you may use Stacked Handlers. (like Apache::Filter) You could
push such a Stacked Handler in an earlier phase (e.g. FixUpHandler) on the
stack, so you don't have to configure it for every Location.

Yes, of course
