Placing anything other than CGI scripts, that are meant to be executed, in
cgi-bin is probably not a good idea. I'm not aware of any specific issues
with it, but with the wide variety of web servers and configurations out
there it could very well become an issue. Besides, on a purely
organizational basis, it's just not the correct place. I would suggest
placing them in a perl5lib or other lib directory, outside of the document
root, and outside of cgi-bin (assuming cgi-bin isn't in the document root).
Also, it's best to install modules using CPAN.pm, or at least untarring a
tarball and going through the 'perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make
install' process. See perldoc -q 'my own module' for tips on how to install
modules like this into your own library directory.
