I'm trying to use mod_rewrite where i already use mod_perl and it is not working.

I do run scripts in the Apache document root and have this in Apache config for every script to make them run on mod_perl:

        <Files "random.cgi">
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler ModPerl::PerlRunPrefork
        Options ExecCGI
        PerlSendHeader On
        allow from all
        </files>

My scripts do work normally on my web root dir but if i set 'RewriteRule on' in my root dir the scripts don't work anymore, they give a 403 forbidden error and Apache log complain about FollowSymLinks being OFF, but it is not OFF. Scripts not running on mod_perl and everything else keep working normally regardless of the mod_rewrite being ON. So i conclude it has something to do with mod_perl.
