SetHandler None            (imho)

or instead of the Location block:

PerlMapToStorageHandler "sub {                    \
  use Apache2::Const -compile=>DECLINED;          \
  use Apache2::RequestRec ();                     \
  use Apache2::RequestUtil ();                    \
  unless( $_[0]->uri eq '/robots.txt' ) {         \
    $_[0]->add_config(['SetHandler perl-script',  \
                       'PerlHandler RT::Mason']); \
  }                                               \
  return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;                \
}"
