[sf-perl] mod_perl and DocumentRoot question

I'm almost embarrassed to be asking this, but I've forgotten the
solution, and my old code belongs to someone else. (Does this mean
I've forgotten more mod_perl than most hackers know? ;) ) I've checked
the mod_perl Cookbook and run some searches, but to no avail.
The problem is that Apache expects me to have a path in my DocumentRoot
for each URL I support. For instance, if I have
http://www.example.com/foo/bar/
http://www.example.com/batz/
Then it expects there to be directories
/var/www/foo/bar
/var/www/batz
This is silly, because my PerlHandler is generating the content--it's not
stored in static files on disk. Moreover, I have dynamically generated URLs
like http://www.example.com/user/quinn/edit .
What is the solution to this dumb problem? Somebody throw me a rope. ;)
Thanks,
