I'm using Perl v5.8.8 on AIX, and I have a question about how Perl
locates libraries (*.a & *.so files) used by it's modules.

I know Perl looks in the following directories for these libraries on my
machine.

> perl -V:libpth
libpth='/lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib /usr/local/lib';

But one of the libraries I need to link to for a module isn't located in
one of these 4 locations & since I don't own the machine, the Unix admin
doesn't want to reinstall the library in one of these locations.

Is there any environment variable that can be set to add that additional
directory?  Or am I screwed until I can build a new Perl release that
includes that directory?  (Luckily I do own the Perl Install)

Or is there some option I can add to "perl Makefile.PL" that would help
during the build/test/install?
