mod_perl automatically adds {ServerRoot} and {ServerRoot}/lib/perl to @INC.

According to pages 500-501 in the Eagle book, changes made to @INC from
PerlRequire'd code don't stick.

Watch out for those @INC push()es in your configs.
I used to have one of those in mine, and every time I did a kill -USR1,
@INC grew, though I didn't realize this at first. Then I found out about
{ServerRoot}/lib/perl, moved my modules there, and dumped the @INC
modifications.
