A Perl authentication handler if correctly designed does not interfere with a DirectoryIndex. It should also work smoothly inside a Location or Directory block or from a .htaccess file. So I suspect your problem lies in the code of your handler. (Are you fiddling with $r->filename or depending on $r->location?) But without insight in that code I think nobody can help.
