Ok, I'm using a script that uses LWP::Simple, but the server I'm using it on, doesnt have LWP::Simple installed on it and I don't have the permissions to get to & install anything in the perl/lib directory. So....I made a directory inside my home dir named "lib", and installed it in there. Here's the file tree (I've left out all the non-directory files outside of /lib) 
public_html
|
+--cgi-bin
   |
   +--lib (chmodded 700)
   |  |
   |  +--LWP (chmodded 700)
   |  |  |
   |  |  +--Simple.pm (module I need to use, chmodded 755)
   |  |
   |  +--HTTP (chmodded 700)
   |     |
   |     +--Status.pm (needed by Simple.pm, chmodded 755)
   |
   +--script.cgi (script I'm accessing via browser, chmodded 755)

now, (these names are case-accurate by the way), in the script I have the following lines: 
BEGIN {
    use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
    push(@INC,"/home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/lib");
}

And when I run it via browser, I get: 
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.
+0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/li
+b/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/lib) at
/home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/script.cgi line 10.

So...whats the problem?
