PERL5LIB is no choice, since there would be the same issue of how to write paths a cross-platform way.

Isn't the "working directory" always the path where the program executes from ?

You refer to this: http://search.cpan.org/~tty/kurila-1.11_0/lib/FindBin.pm ? At first glance it would be exactly what I'm looking for... but since you say it's buggy...

Since it will be a CGI app for webmasters, I guess that very few users have an idea how to do this (ideally the program should be "self-configuring" without the need of editing config files). Maybe there is an other hint ?
