The development environment looks as though its an SVN (Subversion) checkout, hence the inclusion of the trunk in the path. If so, the originator does get top marks for version controlling his code. Having said that, he should probably have just checked out a copy of the trunk to a local sandbox and avoided having "trunk" in the path.
svn co http://your_repository/trunk local_directory is a good way to avoid this.
This would have solved the discrepancy between his "development" and "production" relative paths and avoided the problem described. I still stick to my earlier statement that setting PERL5LIB or similar environment variable is the best way to resolve the problem. I presume the production version runs as a different user from the development version, so this could be accomplished by setting the environment variable in ~/.bashrc or the Apache config files.
I'll leave exactly how to do that as a Google exercise as its getting past my bedtime :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
