I swear to you that I tried it with the debug flag off and it did the same thing. Really. I did... Nevertheless, just to humor you I tried it again. Just to be extra doubly sure I cleared the cache and TADA! it's fixed.

For a little closure, here's the updated httpd.conf section:

PerlModule Apache::Template

TT2EvalPerl     On
TT2LoadPerl     On
TT2Recursion    On
TT2Debug        Off
TT2Headers      all
TT2Params       all
TT2Trim         On

TT2CacheSize    64
TT2CompileDir   /tmp/tt2
TT2CompileExt   .ttc
TT2IncludePath  /usr/local/www/inc/tt2

<Files *.tt2>
    SetHandler      perl-script
    PerlHandler     Apache::Template
</Files>

Alias /tt2 "/usr/local/www/inc/tt2"
<Location "/tt2">
    SetHandler      perl-script
    PerlHandler     Apache::Template
</Location>
