you can put perl modules in any directory you want.  perl automatically will 
check the current directory for modules.

if you want to have something like the following
somedir/perl_mods
somedir/perl_scripts

then you will need to use the 'use lib' command in perl (assuming 
perl >= 5.6.x) as follows

$ cat somedir/perl_scripts/foo.pl
#!/path/to/perl
...
use lib '../perl_mods'; #syntax is use lib '/path/to/perl_include_directory';
...

This will append the path to the end (beginning?) of the @INC array and the 
module search path.
