Hi, I had this same problem when I did something similar with my
install.  When using mod_perl in this fashion, it changes the behavior
of the directory and it's subdirectories to behave the same way a
ScriptAliased directory would behave, basically, you can't serve static
content from that location.

Move all the static content (html, css, images, etc.) to a different
directory (to use the example from the MT manual, use mt-static) and
modify your mt.cfg file to add/change the StaticWebPath option to point
to the location of the static files.

>From what I remember (this was about 4 or 5 months ago) that was all I
had to do to get it working properly.
