Why $r->print in mason handler print standart page?

Question

When I do in HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

sub handler {
    my ($r) = @_;

    $r->content_type('text/plain');
    $r->print( 'YES' );

    $r->log_error( $r->bytes_sent );

    return 200;
}

I get page:

OK

How to just print 'YES' to the browser?

You're supposed to return Apache2::Const::OK or another appropriate Apache2 return value, not an HTTP status. — Dondi Michael Stroma, May 31 '15 at 22:01

I must add use Apache2::RequestIO; to my handler.pl

And I must be more attentive and check /var/log/apache2/error.log when something is going wrong.

To use custom page for response I can use custom_response

sub handler {
  my ($r)=@_;
  @{$r->pnotes}{qw/etext ect/}=("sorry, no access\n", 'text/plain; charset=my-characters');
  $r->custom_response( 403, "/-/error" );
  return 403;
}
