Hi Brad, I would recommend you make a directory that is outside your webspace to house your modules. If only to keep people from digging around in there.
I usually do something like /usr/www/www.mysite.com/www - this dir holds my cgi's my images, my html /usr/www/www.mysite.com/etc/ - this holds my templates, my modules etc. then of course in your instance script have something like this after "use strict" use lib '/usr/www/www.mysite.com/etc/`; It's handy for me because where I work we don't share our code.
