I did. :)

I have a rt2 dir placed in /tools/rt2 on a apache server.  That's the
symlink:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     rit            25 mar  9 15:58 rt2 -> /usr/local/rt2/WebRT/html


.htaccess in the rt2 dir consists of:

  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason


This line could be placed in .htaccess but should be placed in the
main apache configuration in order to preload the needed modules and
thus speed up the pages:

  PerlRequire /usr/local/rt2/bin/webmux.pl


And all this requires mod_perl and that you have configured apache to
allow this. I'm not sure if you need to turn on Options +ExecCGI.
