mod_perl / url rewrite problem

There is a RewriteEngine ON statement. Please note that 'site' is NOT a
real directory. It is just a name that is used to mask 'index.cgi'. The
script should be either called through 'http://domain.tld/Directory'
or something like <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://domain.tld/Directory/site/document.html" target="_blank">http://domain.tld/Directory/site/document.html</a>
(anything behind site/ is handeled by the cgi script)

  >>however when I call it through <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://domain.tld/Directory" target="_blank">http://domain.tld/Directory</a> it isn't!

1. When I access 'http://domain.tld/Directory' (NO MOD_PERL)

init rewrite engine with requested uri /Directory
applying pattern '^/Directory(/?)$' to uri '/Directory'
rewrite /Orwell -> /Directory/site
applying pattern '^/Directory/index.cgi(.*)$' to uri '/Directory/site'
applying pattern '^/Directory/site(.*)$' to uri '/Directory/site'
rewrite /Directory/site -> /Directory/index.cgi
local path result: /Directory/index.cgi
prefixed with document_root to /www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi
go-ahead with /www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi [OK]

2. When I access 'http://domain.tld/Directory/' (NO MOD_PERL)

init rewrite engine with requested uri /Directory/
applying pattern '^/Directory(/?)$' to uri '/Directory/'
rewrite /Directory/ -> /Directory/site
applying pattern '^/Directory/index.cgi(.*)$' to uri '/Directory/site'
applying pattern '^/Directory/site(.*)$' to uri '/Directory/site'
rewrite /Directory/site -> /Orwell/index.cgi
local path result: /Directory/index.cgi
prefixed with document_root to /www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi
go-ahead with /www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi [OK]


3. When I access 'http://domain.tld/Directory/site/document.html'
(MOD_PERL WORKS)

init rewrite engine with requested uri /Directory/site/document.html
applying pattern '^/Directory(/?)$' to uri '/Directory/site/document.html'
applying pattern '^/Directory/index.cgi(.*)$' to uri
'/Directory/site/document.html'
applying pattern '^/Directory/site(.*)$' to uri
'/Directory/site/document.html'
rewrite /Orwell/site/document.html -> /Directory/index.cgi/document.html
local path result: /Directory/index.cgi/document.html
prefixed with document_root to
/www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi/document.html
go-ahead with /www/k-1/html/Directory/index.cgi/document.html [OK]

Good.

Neither of the local files in the 'go-ahead with' lines refers to the unreal
folder...
.... disabling the <Location ...> block should make no diff.
That does assume MOD_perl is NOT invoked either ...
.... what is in $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}?
Do you have any response at all for the first two URLs ...
.... or does the script bail out on an empty $ENV{'PATH_INFO'}?

The $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'} for the first two URLs is 'CGI/1.1' and
for the third one 'CGI-Perl/1.1'.

The script gives a response no matter if $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} is filled or not.

Made incorrect assumptions; still this does elimitate some dull issues.

Please confirm or deny this quest too.
Either the third -go-ahead- line is copied&past-with-error or mod_perl is
somehow associated with ... the extention '.html'!?
