There was a bug posted about this recently. Something along the lines  
of running the frontend as SUID makes perl run in tainted mode and  
doesn't allow ./ as an @INC path. Someone posted a fix (I use the term  
loosely since it's a bad fix IMHO) by hard-coding the path to the  
include.

Until someone fixes this for real, I would copy the *.pm files into a  
path that perl normally uses for includes. Something like:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/
or
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/
or wherever your distro or you have installed perl to look for include  
files.
