I don't see the problem at first glance, but what you're asking apache to do is odd here - <Location> generally refers to a uri path component (/foo/bar/) while <Files> refers to a filename (/foo/bar/baz.pl). so, I'd rather see something like <FilesMatch /perl/*.pl> see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html for a better explanation, specifically the "What to use When" section.
