Even if you are jailed (chrooted) into the CGI directory you should still be able to create a directory (even over FTP -- unless the servers are so locked down that you can't even upload files ;-D), and then use "./modules" (or whatever) as the path to the modules. Of course, that's on a Windows, server, correct? Hmmmm. I suppose worst case scenario you could just keep all the modules in the current directory.
