Great summary of module basics!
Here's a little code I came up with to add my module location to @INC (in a cgi environment) by dynamically determining the document root for the script. It works on the remote apache server and when testing locally in windows. It might be of some interest:
BEGIN {
# get doc root from %ENV
# implicitly declare file root path if %ENV not fount
my $doc_root = $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} ||
'C:/Users/User/Documents/website/sites/mysite';
# change \ to /
$doc_root =~ s/\\/\//g;
# add module folder location
$doc_root .= "/cgi-bin/cms/";
# add module location to @INC
push(@INC,$doc_root);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
