Probably the best way to write a module that uses subdirectories is to
put code into your CGI script like this :

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

chdir("..");
require './webmin-lib.pl';
&header("smeg", "");

print "module = $module_name<br>\n";
print "module root = $module_root_directory<br>\n";
print "module config = $module_config_directory<br>\n";

&footer();

The initial chdir will solve any problems related to finding files in
the expected directories just fine.
