On some OSs (notably Solaris) it isn't possible to change the search
path for shared libraries after the program has been loaded.

And I see you are running Solaris, so that might be an issue. You are
also running an extremely old version of perl. If at all possible,
upgrade to a current version: 5.10.0 or at least 5.8.8.

How did you install it? Normally, if you install a module, perl knows
how to find it - no messing around with @INC necessary. If you need to
do that, you have already done something strange (not necessarily wrong,
but strange - so you may run into strange problems).
