OK then, what does this script print?
#!perl
use Cwd;
print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n";
print "Cwd=".cwd()."\n";
print "\@INC=('" . join("', '", @INC)."')\n";
eval "use lib qw(./lib);";
print "\@INC after use lib=('" . join("', '", @INC)."')\n";
eval "use Field;";
if ($@) {
print "Failed to use Field.pm: $@\n";
} else {
print "Field.pm loaded from $ENV{'Field.pm'}\n";
}
The reason why you should not put the modules in cgi-bin is that you most likely do not want people to download or execute them, do you? If your scripts are to be installed in $foo/cgi-bin then the libraried may well be in $foo/lib. Thus you'd just use lib qw(../lib); instead. Or maybe rather use Cwd;use lib cwd()."/../lib"; to be safe in case you change the working directory and try to import some more modules later.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
