After download Config::General module from CPAN, I decided to install it to my own directory(just copy Config::General.pm to the directory,I didn't do normal install procedure)

I write a simple test script. It can execute in unix shell.But it can't work when access it by http.Apache will report 

Can't locate Config/General.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/loc

But why it can find the pm when execute at unix shell ?

So are there any special when script execute at cgi envionment? thanks!

$ pwd
/data/zht/perl/cgi-bin
$ config
Content-type: text/html

ok$ more config
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib '../lib';
use Config::General;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "ok";

$ 
$ ls ../lib
Cisco         Config        Sharefunc.pm
$ ls ../lib/Config
General     General.pm

thanks!
