I've got mod_perl (version 1.99.11) all up and running on Apache (version
2.0.52), but the working directory of my scripts is always set to / when
mod_perl runs them, instead of being the directory the script is in. This
wreaks havoc if the scripts are using relative pathnames. I was able to
solve the problem with loading extra Perl modules by adding *use lib
qw(/var/www/localhost/perl/mt/lib);* to my mod_perl startup script, but
that doesn't help if my site scripts uses relative paths for other things.
 
I looked through the docs and configuration directives but didn't find
anything appropriate, please tell me if I'm missing something.  I asked in
my distro's (Gentoo) forum but haven't gotten a reply (or even many
views :P).  I also browsed this list but didn't turn up anything that
looked related.  How do I make mod_perl set the working directory of each
script the way I want?  Or is there a reason that it always sets the
working directory to /?
