not allowed here? (Perl sections)

[Ken Williams]

Hi,

I'm getting the error "<Perl> not allowed here" when I try to use Perl sections
in an .htaccess file under mod_perl 1.21.  The same setup works fine under
mod_perl 1.18 (my frontend server).  

The .htaccess is simple, it's just got a <Perl> section that's about 10 lines
long, not nested inside anything else.

I'm positive that the PerlSections hook is enabled, because Apache::Status says
so, and because if I misspell the directive I get a different error ("Invalid
command '<Peerl>', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in
the server configuration").

Any clues?
