in thread apache2 passing PERL5LIB environment to cgi

That makes no sense. They should be equivalent. Both of the following should work, or both should fail. 
PERL5LIB= perl -e'use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5"; use Unicode::String 
+qw(utf8 latin1 utf16be);'

PERL5LIB=$HOME/lib/perl5 perl -e'use Unicode::String qw(utf8 latin1 ut
+f16be);'

Could you confirm or refute?
