well this is essentially what Apache::SimpleReplace does - and I just tested
it on a directory that has +Indexes and it works just fine: content-type
httpd/unix-directory.
make sure you have PerlWarn On in your httpd.conf and are using strict at
the top of your module, just in case it's a coding problem ;)

what's your error_log say?

returning DECLINED pretty much means that apache should skip over your
processing as though it never happened and let apache process the request as
it normally would. The book explains it in detail very well...
In truth, I haven't seen anyone else return DECLINED from the PerlHandler
phase, but it seemed to work ok so I let Apache::SimpleReplace return
DECLINED to handle stuff like directory indexes (and any other unthought of
things). I might have missed something, though...
