Just out of my head:
Make a directory like /lib/perl/private and chmod 700 it.
Put your module MyModule.pm there and chmod 600 it.
In your startup.pl (called from httpd.conf) put
use lib qw ( /lib/perl/private );
use MyModule;
I think this would work, because httpd is started from root, so it can
read the module.
For all other users than root the directory and module is invisible.
I have not tested it - maybe I'm wrong...
