Re: use lib error

I don't think Modperl::Registry sets the current working directory of of
the process when it runs your script, so that might be why it's having
problems. You can try RegistryPrefork instead, if you're running under
the prefork MPM.  If not, then your script will need to be updated to
assumed that the current working directory is /

I could of course be wrong, but this is something to try at least.
