OK... I moved the folder containing the modules to a standard location, (/Library/Perl . I'm on OSX). It works fine in that folder. It's just inconvenient to develop in one folder and move stuff there.

I changed the permissions all the way up the tree of my user directory as a test, but it didn't help...

I'm absolutely sure there are no typos in the path. I've done the use lib thing before many times, just not with cgi. I'm new at the perl cgi part.

I really think it might have something to do with my apache server setup.

But anyway, I guess I'm just going to move it there for now, because I'm in a hurry to get some work done.

Thanks for the tips. I'll check back later in case anyone has any other thoughts.
