OK then, what does this script print? 

#!perl
use Cwd;
print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n";

print "Cwd=".cwd()."\n";
print "\@INC=('" . join("', '", @INC)."')\n";

eval "use lib qw(./lib);";
print "\@INC after use lib=('" . join("', '", @INC)."')\n";

eval "use Field;";
if ($@) {
  print "Failed to use Field.pm: $@\n";
} else {
  print "Field.pm loaded from $ENV{'Field.pm'}\n";
}

The reason why you should not put the modules in cgi-bin is that you most likely do not want people to download or execute them, do you? If your scripts are to be installed in $foo/cgi-bin then the libraried may well be in $foo/lib. Thus you'd just use lib qw(../lib); instead. Or maybe rather use Cwd;use lib cwd()."/../lib"; to be safe in case you change the working directory and try to import some more modules later.
