Are you using Apache as your webserver because, in Apache, when you specify a script alias for the cgi-bin directory you can just use relative paths after that (below from httpd.conf): 

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/wereMyCgiBinBeAt/"

So you can replace the horrid (and non-portable) looking: 

use lib qw(the/full/dir/path/8080/cgi-bin/usr/local
    the/full/dir/path/8080/cgi-bin/usr/local/lib/perl5
    the/full/dir/path/8080/cgi-bin/usr/local/bin
    the/full/dir/path/8080/cgi-bin/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    the/full/dir/path/8080/cgi-bin/usr/local/bin);

[download]
To: 

use lib qw(
    /usr/local
    /usr/local/lib/perl5
    /usr/local/bin
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    /usr/local/bin
    );

On a more serious note...do my eyes decieve me or do you have Perl in the cgi-bin directory? Here's a site that thinks that is a bad idea (checked perlsec but didn't find a specific reference to it though).
