When you run a cgi program in cgi-bin, it runs WITH NO ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES.  In particular, the PERL5LIB variable is not set.  So, your
cgi program doesn't know where ~/perl is.  In fact, it doesn't even
know who ~ is.

One solution (I think) is to add  

use lib '/users/homes/wherever/perl';

Please read the "Idiot's Guide to Solving Perl/CGI Problems" at
http://language.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FAQs/cgi/idiots-guide.html (but
don't let the title discourage you).
