DirectoryIndex doesn't seem to function in SetHandler perl-script
directories.
I don't know enough about Apache internals to know if there is a more
elegant solution, but this is what I am using:

<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html>
  <Files *.html>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler RT::Mason
  </Files>
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html/Ticket/Attachment>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html/SelfService/Attachment>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html/REST>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Directory>
