`$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}` is where unixish/linuxish systems go looking for system libraries. This comes into play when Perl libraries need to load system libraries. `@INC` is where Perl goes looking for Perl modules/Perl libraries.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Worth adding that it should be possible to compile the related perl .so modules with a path to their dependencies, if necessary. The CC option `-Wl,--rpath=/path/to/libs` is passed to linker; resulting shared objects ought to load without custom `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. So it's a matter of properly done module install.
