I was trying to port a CGI script I had written to use mod_perl. I installed mod_perl and wrote a sample script to verify that mod_perl was in fact installed and operational. The next thing I tried was to copy everything from the /cgi-bin directory on my server (my script, module, config file, and template) to the /perl directory, then run it from my browser. This resulted in the following in my server error log: 
[Tue May 22 14:21:51 2001] [error] Can't locate DEVNET.pm in @INC (@IN
+C contains: D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib . d:/apache/apache/ d:/apach
+e/apache/lib/perl) at d:/www/perl/query.cgi line 16.

If I copy the code from my module into my script and remove the use line, I get a similar error when it tries to read the config file or the template. What am I doing wrong? Why does this work perfectly if I am not using mod_perl?

Thank you!
