I need to modify the variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for some of my perl applications

Following some recommendations of the list, I tried in my perl application:

BEGIN {
 $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "/usr/local/gsl-1/lib" ;
# exec 'env', $^X, $0, @ARGV ;
 }

[download]

Actually, exec 'env', $^X, $0, @ARGV ; does not work

However, if I run

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gsl-1/lib ./myperl.pl

It woks fine

How can I modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the perl file?
