Any IIS 6 Perl CGI gurus out their with their sanity intact

People *will* get annoyed if you hi-jack threads like this. Either that 
or you'll get fewer answers since some people may have set their readers 
to ignore the particular thread you hi-jacked.

I can't really help here, you can always try to explicitly redirect 
STDERR somewhere else at the top of the script. If the error is before 
that then I'd consider cutting out require's until you have something 
that works and then add them back one-by-one.

It sounds like it could just be that the web server doesn't have the 
same environment variables set as your shell does and is missing the 
PERL5LIB that your console gives you.
