Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful to reply.
Just to add a bit more to this thread:
I did follow this advice about setting up @INC at server startup time.
However, that didn't seem to change my results. What did seem to help
was relying on these declarations exclusively-- I removed my relative
'use lib' calls in the code and had less problems.
