Nothing to it. I wanted to check if there really is a problem with FindBin on mod_perl, as I was not sure with description in "Known Issues" section in FindBin manpage.
Note that using 'FindBin->again();' after 'use FindBin;' fixes this issue. So perhaps it would be beter to use FindBin than borrow code for __DIR__ from Dir::Self.

It might be only under ModPerl::Registry, but it might be not.
