Perl is failing to compile a program of mine that contains the line: 
use IPC;

The error message is: 
Can't locate IPC.pm in @INC (@INC contains:  /home/charrison/bin /usr/
+local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
+ /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at

+ver/testtom line 26.

But the module *is* in @INC - in /home/charrison/bin: 
lincoln:/home/charrison/bin$ ll
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 charrison prod      7065 May 21 15:33 IPC.pm

What's unusual about the situation is that the program that exec'ed the Perl program that's failing was launched by xinetd. If I remove 'use IPC;' and put in a few prints, it compiles and I get this output: 
Here is env:
$VAR1 = {
          'REMOTE_HOST' => '::ffff:127.0.0.1',
          'PATH' => '/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin'
        };

Here is umask: 2
Here is getpwuid: charrison
Just ran touch /mxhome/charrison/testtom_was_here successfully.

So I have no problem writing to my home directory, and there doesn't appear to be anything in IPC.pm's permissions preventing it from being read. What am I missing?

= = = = =

Update 1: I mentioned that am running this from xinetd, but I neglected to mention that, running it from my command line, it works fine.
