Should it be an internal server error though?  It sounds like this
happens due to normal client activity and the server should hopefully
be able to handle that gracefully and return a more accurate HTTP
status code without bothering the error_log.

I tried this in Link.pm but no change in error.log output:

print @out or die "print: $!\n";
