Easy, you just need to configure Static::Simple to allow .html
to be served.  Then Static::Simple can handle the files outside
/static, and leave /static to mod_perl with

    <Location /static>
        SetHandler None
    </Location>

Static::Simple will of course still happily serve /static under
dev-server, it just won't see the requests on apache.
