Hi all, Can someone advise how to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within the Perl scripts?
If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the command line, all is okay [oracle ~]$ perl -e 'use DBD::Oracle; print $DBD::Oracle::VERSION,"\n";' Can't load '/oracle/product/db/11.1/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at -e line 1 Compilation failed in require at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. [oracle ~]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/product/db/11.1/lib [oracle ~]$ perl -e 'use DBD::Oracle; print $DBD::Oracle::VERSION,"\n";' 1.15 But if I do the following instead in the Perl script, it does not work? How to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH then? $ENV{ORACLE_HOME}=$ORACLE_HOME; $ENV{ORACLE_SID}=$ORACLE_SID; $ENV{PATH}="$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH"; $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}="$ORACLE_HOME/lib"; FYI, the script is to run from a cron which is why am setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the script. Any response will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
