Getting mod_perl Handler to serve cgi sciprt

Shaneful has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a mod_perl handler setup (Apache2) for <location />, it should serve all pages except for 1 that is a cgi-script.
when this uri is called I can return undef and the cgi script is served as standard html.(preview below)
How do I get the mod_perl to serve the cgi script?
code snippet

            next unless $uri =~ "/test.pl";
warn "uri $uri matched $_\n";
            $r->handler('cgi-script');
            $global_status = Apache::DECLINED;
            return undef;
        }

html view of the perl script
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/xml\n\n"; print "This is a CGI script!\n";

The simplest way is to tell apache to not use mod_perl on that script. `<File test.pl> SetHandler default </File>` [download] Or something like that.	[reply] [d/l]

Actually, you'd want to `SetHandler cgi-script` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
