Hi
I am really new to writing Perl modules, i've looked at a few of the documents about them, but I was wondering if I could ask a relatively simple (I hope) question.

I want to be able to write a perl module, i.e. MyModule.pm and specify where to put it. I.e. I want to have it under my document root in a /modules folder. This might sound a little strange, but I have written some software that requires a module that would not normally be installed by default Apache::HTpasswd I think it's called. Anyway, I want to include this module in my software package so that my software doesn't need to rely on it installed on the system.

Let me know if you think I am going about this all wrong.
Cheers,
Tom
