Including Apache::RequestUtil solved the
is_initial_req problem. However,  the directory
listing is ignoring the HEADER.html file contents and
when called with a filename in the url the Dummy.pm is
being picked up properly (I added logging to check)
but
not outputing the file contents.

I agree that the install must be incomplete, but it
was straight from the RedHat FC3 install (plus current
up2date).  I realized that the use of Apache2 is not
just convention, but refers to a new API -- which I
don't have.  Installing Bundle::Apache2 would
probably fix everything (.55 probability) but I didn't
get this in before releasing the system to production
and I fear causing more serious problems (.25
probability). 

I will try hacking at the handler code to generate the
directory listings, as it limits damage to one
directory and can easily be reversed, until I test the
proper Apache2 modules on another machine.
