So, after all the config has loaded, startup.pl will load, which is the only
place that sets your custom PERL5LIB path.

This is part of the config, so I believe it will load prior to startup.pl
(because you're loading it in PerlPostConfigRequire).
Above the PerlResponseHandler line, add the line:
PerlSetVar PERL5LIB "/home/ron/perl.modules/Local-Sites/lib"

I haven't used CAP::Dispatch, but this looks like it has nothing to do with
that, and everything to do with path setup. I think you'll find the above
fixes it. That's because CAP::Dispatch gets pulled in before the startup.pl
(which sets lib), so it has no idea of your custom lib directory. Setting
PERL5LIB prior to including the CAP::Dispatch module should do the trick.

Best of luck,
