The module you have problems with is really called "Config.pm" or is this just an example?

Just an example. It could be anything - Field.pm, etc.

Next question is ... is the working directory what you think it is? I believe some versions of IIS used to set the working directory to the web root, not to the directory containing the script!

We're running Apache on some unix-flavor.

In either case your modules should not be in the web accessible directories, it's better to have them outside the cgi-bin.

This is a fine workaround, I was hoping that there was something else - or at least a better understanding of why perl is even looking in these directories.

There are many popular packages that put perl modules in the cgi-bin. Moveable Type comes to mind.
