Are you talking about the sample My::ProxyRemoteAddr module from the
docs?  I doubt that this is actually related to the problem.

You should always tell us which version.  See

I think what's happening here is that the @INC reverts to its original
value after the script is run, and "use lib" is only executed once, at
compile time.  That means that in later requests, the directory is not
in your @INC.  Most people load all modules at compile time (you
probably should too) so they don't see this.  The fix is just what you
described: do it in startup.pl or set PERL5LIB.
