I don't think this is an IIS thing.. I don't have a PERL5LIB
Environment Variable defined on my system at all. (ActivePerl 5.8.6
Build 811)
However, you should be able to push the path to @INC from your script (I
think it needs to be in a BEGIN block, but I'm not sure). I've never
really found a need to include a path that is not in the normal Win32
paths since everything I do is via PPM (and it throws the module in the
lib or site\lib folders -- PPM makes for easy installs and versioning)
-- with the exception of Mail-SpamAssassin, and it installs to the
site\lib folder as well. Good Luck.
