You can either use DocumentRoot
(http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestUtil.html#C_document_root_)
or use ModPerl::RegistryPreFork which will chdir to the directory your
script is in just like a normal CGI script does. That would let you
use files relative to the script.

Few quirks with document root. Your application may not be hosted under
document root. you may have all your templates and customizations some
where else.
I think better option would be to define the template/support files
location in Directory Configuration or in a Database configuration
table. That would be more staple solution.
in your .htaccess or on the Location/Directory Configuration put a line
that says
PerlSetVar AppsSupportFiles "/home/httpd/support/site1/template"
and access this parameter from your $r->dir_config('AppsSupportFiles')
I think this may be more customizable and scalable solution to your problem
