Sorry about this. I have a simple module... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -T

package CWI::Message;

use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use Exporter;
use vars qw( $VERSION @ISA @EXPORT );

$VERSION     = 1.00;
@ISA         = qw( Exporter );
@EXPORT      = qw( &get_msg );

sub get_msg{
  return 'message from module'
}

1;

And a script... 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $path;
BEGIN { $path = $ENV{ DOCUMENT_ROOT } . '/z_cwi_cgi' }
use lib $path;
use CWI::Message;

# works as expected
my $msg = '';
# 'Undefined subroutine &main::get_msg'
#$msg = get_msg();

print <<HTML;
Content-type: text/html

<html><head><title>Module test</title></head><body>
<p>test_mod.cgi</p>
<p>$path</p>
<p>$msg</p>
<p>back in test_mod.cgi</p>
</body></html>

I haven't use taint here, I think it kicks up over the $ENV variable. When I hard code the path the result is the same.
Again, apologies and again, thanks in advance. wfsp
update:
remote is solaris, 5.8 and local is winXP, 5.8
It runs ok on my local m/c. On the remote m/c it returns: 'Undefined subroutine &main::get_msg'
