Okay, I'm having some problems. I'm testing out kareha (3.0.9) on my Linux home server with Apache 2 before actually making a proper site. I was having some permission-related 500 errors, and now all dir permissions are fixed. I can view kareha/ and its subdirectories as well as look at non-executable files in them as text, like example.htaccess and the css templates. Running kareha.pl from a broweser, however returns a 500 error still, though not because it cannot write or read a certain directory. Here's some relevant info from error_log:

kareha/kareha.pl line 13.\n

(Hope that formats correctly.)

This seems related to the path specified in kareha.pl: use lib '.';. I assume it isn't expanding . to the dir in which kareha.pl is situated. If I edit kareha.pl and input the full path, it still doesn't work. I didn't really think it would. Disabling suexec does nothing as well. test.pl works in kareha/, so mod_perl seems to be fine.

I apologise if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm sort of at a dead end at the moment. Help would be appreciated :)
