Re: 'Use Lib' problem...

Are you sure there shouldn't be a / at the beginning of that?

use lib "$ENV{HOME}/pm"; # Add my personal perl module directory

The problem is that 'use lib' happens at compile-time, but your assignment to $ENV{HOME} doesn't happen until run-time. A simple fix in your case is:

  BEGIN {
    $ENV{HOME} = "/home/tony/cgi-bin";
  }
  use lib "$ENV{HOME}/pm";

The BEGIN { } block forces its contents to be executed at compile-time.
