Well after reading more and more of the perl manpages I finally found 
what I was looking for and it was as easy as I knew it had to be:
export PERL5OPT=-I/path/to/scripts

(or something to that effect).  So I'm figuring if that is in the 
environment that exists when Apache is run, then I'm sorted ;-)

Oh yeah, and I don't know what I was thinking with editing the .pm 
file.  Just shows how far off the mark I was; I just didn't know where 
to start because there was no file in /etc that looked like a Perl 
config file, and the "files" section under "man perl" just listed "@INC" 
which was not very helpful ;-\

Yep...  just haven't got around to it yet, since filesearching is not a 
very common occurrence ;-)
