Most revered monks,
I have the following simple Perl script (called "hellom.cgi"): 
__BEGIN__
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard :html3/;
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
$CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100;  # max 100K posts1
 
#--------------------------------------------------
# BEGIN {
#     if ( $ENV{PERL5LIB} and $ENV{PERL5LIB} =~ /^(.*)$/ ) {
#
#         # Blindly untaint.  Taintchecking is to protect
#         # from Web data;
#         # the environment is under our control.
#         eval "use lib '$_';" foreach (
#             reverse
#             split( /:/, $1 )
#         );
#     }
# }
#--------------------------------------------------

use Acme::Spork;
use Bio::Tools::GuessSeqFormat;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World !! It works.\n";

__END__

Which is stored under: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Test/cgi-bin And the actual website can be accessed here. It gives error message like this:

As you can see from that link it shows that it can't locate Acme::Spork at the shown path there - although the path stated above (the one under /home) is already consistent with my htaccess path below: 
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/sadm/lib/site_perl/sun4-solaris-64int:/home/sadm
+/lib/site_perl/

The .htaccess is located here: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Test.
Moreover checking the location of the module it consistently shows the correct path: 
   sadm@bioinfo-z:~/lib/site_perl/Acme$ ls
   Spork.pm
   sadm@bioinfo-z:~/lib/site_perl/Acme$ pwd
   /home/sadm/lib/site_perl/Acme

My question is why my Apache can't locate the location given my correct .htaccess path? Thus my script won't work?

Update: Problem solved. Thanks to ikegami!.

Regards,
Edward
PS: My httpd.conf is this and modules.conf is this.
