- Where do I put which files from the app?

I believe your modules are installed in the lib directory. Move them to a location that is accessible by your Perl installation. You will probably want to relocate your templates as well and reconfigure your View with the new location.

You'll also need to update your application class to tell it to use the Apache engine: 
use Catalyst qw/-Engine=Apache/;

- How do I tell Apache to map urls to Catalyst?

I believe the Catalyst dispatcher handles this for you.

Here's a basic example of a Vhost configuration: 
<VirtualHost _default_:8000>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
        ServerName catalyst.example.com
        ErrorLog logs/catalyst.example.com-error_log
        CustomLog logs/catalyst.example.com-access_log common
    
    PerlModule My::App
        <Location />
                SetHandler  perl-script
                PerlResponseHandler My::App
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

- My program needs to acess a shared drive. Will 'c:\path' still mean the same for my app when it runs under the Webserver?

I don't see any reason why this would be an issue.

You will need to install Catalyst::Engine::Apache2 if it isn't already.
