    and where is your CGI script / .pl page, using the same domain.com/folder1/.... example? As it stands, you are asking for the script to search in the root directory available to the .pl script. I am guessing that this is not the case, unless some chroot magic is happening.

      cgi, pl files are in folder1

        Then the line should be use lib '.'; or use lib '/FULL/PATH/TO/FOLDER1';

        On a security-related note: make sure that your library path is not directly accessible from web-space.

    Place this script in the same folder as your .pl script and browse it. 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
# cwd.pl
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
use Cwd;

my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header,
$q->start_html(),
$q->pre(cwd()),
$q->end_html;
