That's not related to DocumentRoot.  The open() command opens files
relative to your current working directory.  If you use
ModPerl::RegsitryPreFork, that will be the same directory your script
is in.  Alternatively, you can chdir() to the directory you want.
What you're trying to do right now with DocumentRoot should be done
with chdir() instead.
