I don't think having the handler set as perl-script would have any affect. I have done this in a bunch of different places without any problem using SetHandler modperl and SetHandler perl-script.
That being said, using either of the other two options you suggest would be better than returning DECLINED i think.

He must have already set perl-script as the handler for this location, so it won't just use the default if you decline. A good way to do this is shown here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#Overriding_E_lt_Locati onE_gt__Setting_in__Sub_Location_ Basically, you make a Location block like this: <Location "/gallery"> SetHandler default-handler </Location> Another approach would be to change the locations so they don't overlap, e.g. put the XML stuff at /xml or use FilesMatch *.xml instead of /. (And that LocationMatch / isn't anchored to the beginning of the URL, is it? It's going to match any URL with a / anywhere in it.) - Perrin
