in reply to LD_PRELOAD without shell

Have you looked at %ENV? In what way did it fail to work?

As an alternative, have you tried

LD_PRELOAD=./blah.so exec ./progname --option1 --option2

... to keep the "real" PID?

    is %ENV global for perl and another progs running from it?

    but exec works fine, thanks

      From the linked documentation:

      Setting a value in ENV changes the environment for any child processes you subsequently fork() off.

      I'm sure it could be less specific on fork(), but the part about "any child processes" is still true.
