DynaLoader with nonstandard lib location

[Reid Beels]

I'm trying to install a module (Image::Imlib2) which depends on  
DynaLoader being able to find an external C library.  Normally, this  
wouldn't cause a problem but I'm being forced to install the module on  
a system which I do not have root access on and thus must store the  
both the module and the library it seeks in a nonstandard location.   
The location for the module is working fine, as expected, but I have  
yet to find a way to tell DynaLoader to look in the correct place for  
the library.  I have tried adding

push(@DynaLoader::dl_library_path, '/home/lwire/perllib/clib');

to both the script which I am calling Image::Imlib2 from and to  
Imlib2.pm itself.  Either way, I receive the following error:

Can't load  
'/home/lwire/perllib/lib/perl5/5.6.1//i686-linux/auto/Image/Imlib2/ 
Imlib2.so' for module Image::Imlib2: libImlib2.so.1: cannot open shared  
object file: No such file or directory a
t /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

Do I need to be defining dl_library_path somewhere else or is there  
some other method that I can use to define the search path??

Thanks
