There has to be a better way to have index.pl show up as default!  

I agree, this is not necessary.  In fact, I don't think your problem has 
anything to do with mod_perl.  This is just a configuration issue of 
some kind.  (I don't mean to trivialize it -- config problems are real 
problems, but not mod_perl problems.)

I'd suggest removing all the mod_perl stuff from your config for the 
moment so you won't be misled by it and just trying to make an ordinary 
file with an alternate name (say "foo.html") come up as your index. 
When you have that working, then put the mod_perl stuff back in.
