"SetHandler perl-script" seems to block the behaviour of DirectoryIndex. My
solution to this was:

<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>

I imagine it should all still work if you translate <Directory> to
<Location>.
