I thought so, too. I had tried, unsuccessfully:

   DirectoryIndex linch

This doesn't work either.

I should have clarified that it is not the task of my Perl script to
index the directory. I merely wanted it to show up as the default in
the same way that index.html shows up when present (and configured as
DirectoryIndex).

Thanks for the hint, but in this case, I simply have Apache configured
to serve up my development environment. When deployed, the URL part is
going to look like this, with the filesystem part pointing elsewhere.
(Provided laziness won't make me leave it as it is.)

Which reminds me that I've often wished Apache had a feature like:

Var EumelRoot /home/milu/www/eumel

Alias /eumel $EumelRoot/www

<Directory $EumelRoot>
...

<Directory $EumelRoot/bla>
...
