Thanks All, using PerlOutputFilterHandler gives me the desired result for the pages in htdocs for the <Location ...> specification..
[using the inputs from this group and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/104437].
Now I am noting that my earlier integration of Apache with JBoss where I am redirecting based on certain paths is not working. If I remove the output filter the jboss page shows, but when I put it (httpd.conf) the display of dynamic content from Jboss stops. E.g. in mod-jk.conf:
JkMount /jspweb/* node1
What am I missing here? Many thanks for your inputs in advance!
Thanks,
Rommel.

As others have pointed out this works as you are using mod_jk, look at
OutputFilters - we use output filters to "wrap/template" a number of our
websites.
By using this method we are able to wrap, static content, output from
other mod_perl handlers, php scripts, ruby scripts, output from others
servers - tomcat servers behind mod_jk other perl servers using
mod_proxy... All with a common method... not seen any "adverse" effects
with performance..
