Manually move files to the appropriate location - in your case:
"Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS 9):WEB-Design:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl"
When MacPerl looks for a module, it looks in the folders specified in the Libraries
Preference (found under the Edit menu).
If you name the folder site_perl and put it in the MacPerl folder, you do not need to
add it to your preferences, as that folder name is specially added for you. But, when
you upgrade your version of MacPerl, don't forget to retain a copy of the folder
