3. mount a separate directory that resided on a different partition at the mount point that has just been created for all users.
How to determine what that separate directory is ?
Is it's name the user's name ?
Why mounting ? Can't you just create a symbolic link pointing to the other dir ?

Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory VERSION
version 0.923 SYNOPSIS
my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir); DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory. This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory. It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata. METHODS
new $dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(dir => $path); Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory. determine_name_and_version Attempts to parse name and version from directory name. dir Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor. file_content Returns the content for the specified file. find_files Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory). physical_directory Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
