All i have the following code i want to load the DBD::Informix driver.
#!/apps/exlink/orc/perl/bin/perl

use DBD::Informix;

[download]


When i run it i get 
bash-3.00$ perl/bin/perl test.pl
Can't load '/apps/exlink/orc/arch/sparc-sun-solaris/perl/lib/site_perl
+/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Informix/Informix.so' for module DBD::In
+formix: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libifsql.so: open failed: No such file 
+or directory at /apps/exlink/orc/arch/sparc-sun-solaris/perl/lib/5.8.
+5/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
 at test.pl line 3
Compilation failed in require at test.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 3.

So i setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to put my libifsql.so in. 
bash-3.00$ find . -name libifsql.so
./arch/sparc-sun-solaris/lib/32/libifsql.so
./arch/sparc-sun-solaris/lib/64/libifsql.so
./arch/x86_64-unknown-linux/lib/32/libifsql.so
./arch/x86_64-unknown-linux/lib/64/libifsql.so
bash-3.00$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./arch/sparc-sun-solaris/lib/64/libi
+fsql.so
bash-3.00$ perl/bin/perl test.pl

But i still get the same error, does perl not use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search for this lib ?
