perl -c fails with FilterSnoop example in docs

I copied this useful debugging filter at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#A ll_in_One_Filter

It works fine, but I can't `perl -c` :

hedges@vm5:~/foo$ perl -c Lame.pm
Invalid CODE attribute: FilterConnectionHandler at Lame.pm line 26
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Lame.pm line 26.

If I comment those subs out it checks fine, so
Apache2::Filter is loading. It doesn't help if I also do
"use Apache2::Filter ()" first. Any ideas how to make this
check okay for my build test to include it? --mark--

Perhaps this will be of interest to you -- it mentions the need for
a handler subroutine:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=606092

The above link is part of the following discussion:

I hope that helps.

Yes, the modules that are built to run in the context of Apache HTTPD
mostly will not run from the command-line. They are missing the
environment they expect. To test them, you need to run them through
mod_perl. See Apache::Test.
