[PLUG] Centos 4.6 apache and perl scripts...

[Someone]

<Directory ~/public_html>
    setHandler perl-script
    PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
    PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
    Options +ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Any thoughts on why adding the above to perl.conf doesn't work?
I'm thinking ~/public_html will match the public_html directory
under any user.

I'm still getting Error 403, Forbidden.
