You can do this nice little Perl trick:
BEGIN
{
if ($ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} !~ /oracle.*lib/)
{
$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = '/oracle/8.0.5/lib';
exec($^X, $0, @ARGV);
}
}
or something similar (e.g., we use a package that appends
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH if the value isn't already in it).
The exec piece executes your Perl script exactly as you did,
using the same Perl interpreter.
