Try adding the respective directory to the shared library search paths (which is independent of @INC), i.e. 

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib  ./test.pl

[download]

If that works, you could either write a little wrapper to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately, or create a symlink to libdb-4.7.so from within a directory which already is on the list of lib directories searched by default (usually /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64), /usr/local/lib, etc. — in case of doubt, use strace -f -efile ./test.pl to find out which directories are being tried...)

(See the man page ld.so(8) for details on configuring the dynamic linker/loader)
