I disagree. Perl behavior is to look at env. var. PERL5LIB to find its library. This should be set to match the Perl that is being invoked, which is normally done by placing that Perl’s bin directory on the path. Since I did place it on the path, there are only two possibilities for why x2go ran /usr/bin/perl: either it hard-coded the path to Perl, in which case it should first set PERL5LIB (or maybe there is a Perl command line arg to specify the library folder), OR x2go ignored my changes to PATH when it ran perl (in which case it should also ignore PERL5LIB).
