i thought the boot-time parameters are some sort of environment variables,
so if you want them to be used inside your perl script, you should use
something like

$z_install = $ENV{'z_install'};

or take a look at http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/lib/Env.html
and try to include that perl lib in your server-side install lib dir...
