in reply to Can't use DBD::Oracle if LD_LIBRARY_PATH Not Set In Environment

See Perl and paths...again :-( and the replies to it. This sounds like very much the same problem, so the solution there might help you too.

    OK. I looked at that thread. Using the "exec $0" method to re-invoke the program works (after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH) - but that just seems a little too funky for me. Is there a "cleaner" way? (For lack of a better way of putting it).

    Thanks,
    Gary

      Yes. Write a wrapper (shell) script that sets the environment variables before invoking your Perl program.
