Hi all,
We're beating our head against a wall. Consider: 

BEGIN
{
  $ENV{"LD_LIBRARY_PATH"} = /usr/local/lib:/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-80
+/lib:/usr/lib";
}
 ... code ...
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:CIC7P', 'mikeraz', 'bruised_head',{ Ra
+iseError => 0, PrintError => 1, PrintWarn => 1})
;

This dies with message:

but if I, before running the program set up my environment: 

bash-2.05$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-80/lib:/usr/lib
bash-2.05$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
the script runs fine.

We're at a loss for why setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within the script doesn't work. The script is called from a program and the UID that it operates under does not have LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined. Nor, in our corporate environment, can it be.

Suggestions?

Update: node DynaLoader and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and programatically setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH have the answer to this question and more background on how to put it into effect.
