Yes it is Perl that handle the open() requests as by its turn it gives the open() requests to OS to control and handle but its Apache that locates its files(only locates and handle links) that is in fact residing to a subdir of the webserver's DocumentRoot.

So although the path were relative Apache can locate them and Perl open() them with the use of the OS. No?!
If you want tou can answer, i know i tired you with this matter.....
