I'm setting up a new iMac with Snow Leopard and its default software: Apache 2.2.11, Perl 5.10.0, and mod_perl 2.0.4.

I have installed HTML::Mason and updated the Apache httpd.conf file with the same additions as my previous Mac, where Mason worked perfectly:

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
PerlSetVar MasonDataDir /usr/local/mason
PerlAddVar MasonCompRoot "main => /Library/WebServer/Documents"
PerlAddVar MasonCompRoot "mrb => /Users/mrb/Sites"

<Directory /Users/mrb/Sites/mason/sfmail_new>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Directory>

AddType text/html .mhtml
<LocationMatch "\.mhtml$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</LocationMatch>

[download]

And of course I restarted Apache so that it would read the updated httpd.conf file.

Now I find that trying to view http://localhost/~mrb/somefile.mhtml, which should match the 'LocationMatch' directive above, doesn't invoke Mason to handle its content. However, the same file, same filename and extension, accessed at http://localhost/somefile.mhtml, is handled by Mason as it should be.

Has anyone else run across a problem like this?
