Well there are no "documents" so <Directory>s and DocumentRoot
don't really come into play.
Here is how it is setup:
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Blah::Main
</Location>
Note, that most people avoid putting handlers on / as it can
cause you issues when using other modules on the same URL, if you
aren't careful.
What I typically do is setup a redirect for / to say /main and then
park Blah::Main at <Location /main>. Same effect without polluting
/.

Yes, templating is the answer here. If you haven't used it before
it sounds like it is going to be confusing and hard to do, but
once you actually do it you'll wonder how you ever lived without
it before. :)
