Many thanks - a PerlFixupHandler has done the job nicely. The fixup 
handler makes the decision, turning on a custom PerlResponseHandler 
if so. For the record, here's the code I arrived at:

sub handler {
        my $r = shift;

        my $requested_dir = $r->filename;
        $requested_dir =~ s|^/home/www/html/my_site/(.*)/[^\/]*$|$1|;

        return Apache::OK unless exists $permission{$requested_dir};

        $r->handler('perl-script');
        $r->set_handlers(PerlResponseHandler => \&restricted_response);
        return Apache::OK;
}

sub restricted_response {
        my $r = shift;

        my $requested_dir = $r->filename;
        $requested_dir =~ s|^/home/www/html/my_site/(.*)/[^\/]*$|$1|;

        $r->content_type('text/plain');
        print "mod_perl has taken over the $requested_dir directory...\n";

        return Apache::OK;
}
1;

invoked with

<Location />
        PerlFixupHandler MyApache::Permissions
