I have a serverlist in a module called serverNames.pm and a script using it. serverNames.pmmodule is homed in ~/lib and the script is homed in ~/bin. So I used following snippet to retieve my data

# !/opt/OV/bin/Perl/bin/perl -w
use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;                    # path 2 scripts
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";           # path 2 modules
use lib serverNames;                    # contains ARRAY serverList

print @serverList;                        # very simple, I know ;-)

Before runnig I get following:

$ perl -w pfadTest.pl
Name "main::serverList" used only once: possible typo at
pfadTest.pl line 7

My snippet with strict 

# !/opt/OV/bin/Perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;                    # path 2 scripts
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";           # path 2 modules
use lib serverNames;                    # contains ARRAY serverList

print @serverList;                        # very simple, I know ;-)

produces:

Bareword "serverNames" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at
pfadTest.pl line 6. Global symbol "@serverList" requires explicit
package name at pfadTest.pl line 8.
Execution of pfadTest.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

The module name in ~/lib is serverNames.pm and my OS is HP-UX **** B.11.11 U 9000/800

update: The script is 755 (-rwxr-xr-x). A call with perl -w ~/bin/pfadTest.pl doesn't help either.
