I use separate directories because my business logic and catalyst code are in 
different SVN trees.  For me it's as simple as adding:

     use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../MyApp/lib";

to the scripts in MyApp-Web/script/.

If you are using mod_perl for production you will need to specify both your 
MyApp-Web and MyApp paths in it's setup.

Hope that helps,
