you probably want <Directory /home/marek/public_html/perl>, not
<Location ...>.  The Location directive is referring to URL-paths (i.e.
the request as sent by the browser), while <Directory> is referring to
physical file-paths as mapped internally by the webserver.

See here for the details:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#location
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#directory

Have fun mod_perl'ing!
