Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just say> <Location /myproject>

<Location /myproject>
    AddHandler perl-script .cgi
    PerlHandler MyProject->dispatcher

using AddHandler instead of SetHandler. This will not override the default
handler for things like images/stylesheets/static html. This way you don't
need the  <LocationMatch "^/myproject/(images|javascript|stylesheets)"> ... tags.
 

I prefer for reasons that I can't really explain to have the Perl 
handler locations having no extension - e.g. things like 
"/myproject/component1" rather than "/myproject/component1.cgi".

I can't see how to achieve that with an AddHandler.  (And even if I did 
get that working somehow, then the Perl handler would have to hand 
control back to the Apache core when it receives a request for 
"/myproject/images".)

Thanks for the idea, though.  If I manage to overcome my inexplicable 
aversion to file extensions then it certainly looks like the simplest 
solution.
