What about (in srm.conf):

# plain cgi-bin:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

# Apache::Registry mode
ScriptAlias /cgi-modperl/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

Then (in access.conf):

<Location /cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
allow from all
</Location>

<Location /cgi-modperl>
AllowOverride None
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
</Location>

Of course, the users would still have to enter different locations in
the browser, but the files would reside in the same directory.

Kind of nice, because you can test your Perl scripts both under mod-perl
and otherwise.
