I think you'd be better off asking on the mod_perl mailing list, since I have never used this module. However, I think I see the logout problem.

Like the login method, Apache::AuthCookie->logout does not generate a page and is not intended to handle requests directly. What you are supposed to do is take the logout.pl script in the distribution and set that up as your logout URL. It calls Apache::AuthCookie->logout internally, and also sends a response.

Regarding your <Files> issue, I don't think you really want to set it up to execute every file under / through Apache::Registry. That error message you got says it was trying to execute index.html as perl code.
