This is one of the gotchas I mentioned before: CHDIR.
You can't rely on it. Something somewhere (maybe Registry itself) is
changing the current dir, so '.' now refers to / rather than
to /path/to/your/modules.
It's actually not that something is doing a chdir, but that Registry
is NOT doing one. In a CGI environment, the current directory is
always set to the directory where the script lives. Unfortunately,
this is not safe for a threaded environment, so Registry doesn't do it
by default.
A subclass of Registry that deals with this is included in the
mod_perl distribution. It's called ModPerl::RegistryPrefork. There's
more explanation here:
