.htaccess explained better

[Tyler Bird <suppressed>]

   <Directory />
       Options -Indexes
       AllowOverride All
      DirectoryIndex index.i
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>



.htaccess contents

DirectoryIndex test.txt


I do the following

comment out directoryindex

#DirectoryIndex test.txt


then I request the virtual host and it gives me and can't find mod_perl 
registry error.

I am running enterprise 5, with apache 2.2, mod_perl 2.0.3 and perl 5.8.8
all installed with the enterprise 5 system.

Any ideas this works fine in the enterprise 2.1 environment.
