in reply to perl unable to locate my module

Just a shot in the dark:

What are the rights of the parentdir /home/charrison/bin (owner, group, modes) and whats the group-id of the process?

edit

if for instance the execute-mode is missing for a directory, then you can't access the included files.

lanx@nc10-ubuntu:/tmp$ echo 1 > dir/tst.pm
lanx@nc10-ubuntu:/tmp$ chmod u-x dir
lanx@nc10-ubuntu:/tmp$ ll -d dir
drw-r-xr-x 2 lanx lanx 4096 2013-05-22 00:28 dir
lanx@nc10-ubuntu:/tmp$ perl -Idir -Mtst -e'1'
Can't locate tst.pm in @INC (@INC contains: dir /etc/perl /usr/local/l

    Perms for the parent dir (/home/charrison/bin) are 775, so that should be good. The user/group is charrison/charrison.

      Well, it also fails if earlier dirs in the path have no x mode.

      But if /home/charrison/bin is correct this isn't a likely reason...

        Also, require '/home/charrison/bin/IPC.pm'; succeeds, which indicates to me it probably isn't related to permissions....
