Modify webmux.pl to decline to handle .php files, like so:

  return DECLINED if $r->uri =~ /\.phps?$/;

Add it right after the call to RT::Init().

<rant>
  As an aside, I have a fundamental problem with HTML::Mason's
  assumptions that it will be handling *everything*; a better
  approach that the <Location /> nonsense would be the
  <FileMatch "*\.html$"> approach (or whatever your Mason-handled
  components are named), so that you don't run into these issues.
  One of the first lines of every HTML::Mason handler method is
  *always* "return DECLINED unless $i_want_to_handle_this_type",
  which defeats the whole purpose of Apache's TypeChecking phase.
