It's your choice, but personally I would not put it anywhere in the /usr/local/lib/perl5 tree since it would easily get lost if you ever upgrade Perl or move the website to another computer. Personally I'd put it in the same directory as the CGI script. If you have scripts in subdirectories of cgi-bin/ read about PERL5LIB in 'man perlrun'. The real solution would be to convert to using CGI.pm, but that might be a larger task than you are looking for right now.
