bad file descriptor?
Ok, I'm sure this is a total newbie question, but I think I'm in the right place, no?

I'm trying to call a perl module from a cgi script - Mail::Sendmail - and my web host installed the module in a directory that doesn't seem to be accessible, at least not the way I'm trying. But I thought you could call a module just about anywhere as long as you include a 'use lib' statement so perl can find it...

Anyway, I guess my question is this: does 'bad file descriptor' indicate that a file pathname I've written is bunk? That basically the pathname is not correct?

Thanks in advance for any light shed for a Unix rookie...

bb-findhost.cgi

BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1)					      General Commands Manual						BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1)

NAME

       bb-findhost.cgi - Xymon CGI script to find hosts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-findhost.cgi?host=REGEX

DESCRIPTION

       bb-findhost.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-findhost.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-findhost.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the "host=REGEX" parameter. The REGEX is a Posix regular expression (see
       regex(7) ) describing the hostnames to look for.  A trailing wildcard is assumed on all hostnames - e.g. requesting the hostname "www" will
       match any host whose name begins with "www".

       It then produces a single web page, listing all of the hosts that matched any of the hostnames, with links to the Xymon webpages where they
       are located.

       The output page lists hosts in the order they appear in the bb-hosts(5) file.

       A sample web page implementing the search facility is included with bbgen, you access it via the URL /bb/help/bb-findhost.html.

OPTIONS

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_form
	      Query form displayed when bb-findhost.cgi is called with no parameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOSTS
	      bb-findhost.cgi uses the BBHOSTS environment variable to find the bb-hosts file listing all known hosts and their page locations.

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
