I'm trying to install the perl based twiki, :-) Locally it works fine. However the host provider (running CentOS, and perl 5.8.0) does not allow installing all required modules except in my ~ directory.

Now I managed to install the few missing modules in ~/lib/perl5. The problem is just that perl is not aware of my local repository of modules.

I have tried some fault finding home with Apache v2.2.4 (Ubunty 7.10) aka tried to have Apache to pass the environment to my cgi-bin scripts like so: 

<Directory /var/www/twiki>
    SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/debinix/lib/perl5
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
</Directory>

$ perl -V outputs:
  @INC:
    /etc/perl
    /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8
    /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8
    /usr/lib/perl5
    /usr/share/perl5
    /usr/lib/perl/5.8
    /usr/share/perl/5.8
    /usr/local/lib/site_perl
mod_perl is not used on the server. I kind of got stuck here. The apache log: "Can't locate Unicode/String.pm in @INC ..."
