in reply to Permission denied in my home directory

The backticks around /home/sherman/modules tell Perl to run this as a system command. Hence the error message: Can't exec... You need single quotes (not backticks); also use should be all lower case:

use lib '/home/sherman/modules';

See perlop#Quote-Like-Operators and lib.

Hope that helps,
