It's in the path, as mod_perl starts with path to Ibudb.pm, and nothing would
work without that. Ibudb::User is a defined package within the Ibudb.pm file.

I though it should be easy, on paper it doesn't look that hard. The problem
seems to be conflicting docs (gradually getting better), and me not being able
to allocate enough time in a solid block to get it all done.
I'll have to have another look at the examples in M::P::A.
I'm sure it's a silly typo, I just wanted to make sure I'm not barking up the
wrong tree.
