As far as FreeBSD goes, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not searched for setuid
programs (aka, Apache). This isn't a problem for CGIs since they don't
do a setuid (and are forked off), but Apache does, and mod_perl is in
Apache. I think thats right anyway :)
You could solve this globaly by running ldconfig (I assume Linux has it,
FreeBSD does). You'd be looking for:
ldconfig -m <your directory here>
Hope that helps.

THE STORY OF CREATION
In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and null,
and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of IBM
was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there be
registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they carried;
and DEC seperated the data from the instructions. DEC called the data
Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was evening
and there was a maorning, one interrupt...
