what I understand is that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be set within the profile
of the user under which the web server is running, and not in the perl %ENV
hash. I think you can edit the .profile of whatever user is running the web
server to add or export that ENV variable.
That is the next issue I need to deal with in my endeavours and I will
certainly let you know the outcome ;)
