Replacing Authen & Authz handlers

I've got Authen and Authz protecting an entire site:

   <location />
       PerlAuthenHandler My::Authen
       PerlAuthzHandler My::Authz
       AuthType Basic
       AuthName Test
       require valid-user
   </location>

I'd like to have one directory that uses Apache's built-in Basic
Authentication, but I'm having a hard time making it happen.

I've tried using a "PerlSetVar DisableAuthen 1" and then returning DECLINED
in my handlers, but that's causing this error:

   configuration error:  couldn't check user.  No user file?: /test

Can someone fill me in, please.  Also, what's Apache seeing that's
triggering the above error message.

Thanks,

Did you set an AuthUserFile for apache?

mod_auth.c is not seeing an AuthUserFile
