Only if you reverse the order. e.g.

    PerlModule Promtelecom::DebitorDocuments
    <Location /debitor/documents>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler Promtelecom::DebitorDocuments
    </Location>
    PerlModule Promtelecom::Debitor
    <Location /debitor>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler Promtelecom::Debitor
    </Location>

Apache will often report if you put them in the wrong order at  
startup time.

Basically first one wins - so if the URL is "/debitor/documents/fred"  
and the first Location is "/debitor" - it would win. So you make sure  
that it is always least to most significant.
