I strongly suspect that you have a mount point somewhere along the path /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/ that the user is seeing and root is not, or vice versa. A very weird problem indeed! Wish I could offer more assistance, but without being "on the machine", I canna say much more. Next step: print out the mounts, /etc/fstab and look carefully along each element in the path /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/ for mount points, nfs mounts, Samba shares and/or symlinks.
