why don't you install all the modules you need in a central location like
the preference folder of your user's machine. You could use an installer
app to do the job if you have several users.

your script will find its way to the modules folder if you use 'findfolder.pl':
(You would still have to paste findfolder in the resource fork)

	#!perl

	require "FindFolder.pl";

	$prefs = MacPerl::FindFolder('P');
	# P returns 'HD Interne 700:Dossier Syst¸me:Prˇfˇrences:'
	# on my machine

	$libpath = $prefs."YourAppPrefFolder";
	# or whatever you choose
	# make sure the user does not rename "YourAppPrefFolder"

	use lib $libpath;
	# or unshift(@INC,$libpath);

	use YourModule;


I haven't tested this, though... Let me know.
