Thanks for the feedback. The perl is built from source. It is a version 
controlled installation used across our enterprise. I have included the 
perl -V output below.

There are a few key things I have not been able to figure out:
Why is it trying to create a directory that exists?
Why is it giving a permission denied error when the directory is 770 and 
owned by the user Apache is running under?
And most of all, where is this reference to /usr/local/lib/perl5 coming 
from?

This is hurting my brain. :)
