By first changing my Location directive to the following:

  <Location /sandbox/semantic-web/>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache2::Alex::SemanticWeb
  </Location>

And then changing my RewriteRule to this:

   RewriteRule ^/etexts/id/(.*) /sandbox/semantic-web/?id=$1  
[passthrough]

I eliminate the need to have a file on my file system.

Thank you.  oss++ * mailing_lists++
