It seems to be working like a charm for me now. :-)
I regret the false imputation...
The root of my misunderstanding was that I did not realize that when I
would start apache by hand, it was getting PERL5LIB from my shell
environment.
Then, when the system would reboot, and start Apache, it didn't have it!
So I probably just had things misconfigured (like using 'SetEnv' instead
of 'PerlSetEnv'), and mistakenly concluded that 'use lib' was the only
thing that works reliably.
I could never really debug the problem properly, since everything always
worked by hand.
Then when I saw Tim's post, it seemed to confirm what I already thought
I knew.
Shows what assuming will do. Hee-haw. ;-)
