This won't work in a PerlTransHandler because between trans and maptostorage 
the request configuration made so far is thrown away and reset to the default 
server config. Move those lines to a PerlMapToStorage handler and it should 
work assuming that there are no other directives overriding them in .htaccess 
files or similar.
