Of course all I had to do was spend half an hour giving all the code, and configs, and submit it before I found something that would work. :) heh heh
THANKS very much!

The configuration that finally worked was: 

Alias /foo /home/httpd/foo
  <Location /foo>
    SetHandler "perl-script"
    Options +ExecCGI
    PerlHandler Apache::OutputChain Apache::SSIChain Apache::Registry
  </Location>

But it only works if it isn't covered by another rule; /perl/foo doesn't work. That is what was giving me most of my troubles, I had good config directives, but it was matching something else first. mod_perl kicks as, it's fast, it's stable, it's humbling.
