Monks,

I installed my first module (done locally because I don't have root access) on my Apache server. It went smoothly except the installation path for the module is as follows: xxx/xxx/xxx/cgi-bin/modules/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/HTML/Template.pm This isn't what I wanted. I wanted to install it directly into the 'modules' directory. Instead, I got all this much longer unwanted path with the '/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005' in the middle. I'm curious to know why my server added this extra long path and is there be anything I can do with future module installations to get them to install in the 'modules' directory?

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar";
$nysus = $PM . $MCF;

P.S. Thanks to everyone who has been so helpful to me over the past few posts. This community has been absolutely great to me and so I donated a few more bucks to PM.
