I'll also point out that you can't set an environment variable (such as
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) in a script and have it affect the script itself. It
can only affect child processes. So it is not possible to pre-set
anything in the environment in the sybperl source so that it will pick
up the correct libraries at run-time - such settings *have* to be made
outside of sybperl (in the parent process, or by some other linker
directive such as the ld.so.conf file on linux systems).
