Actually, AIX is probably the only environment where you _can_ affect the dynamic library search path at runtime (Darin, you should know that <g>). Just make sure that you condition $ENV{LIBPATH} such that it's executed prior to perl 'use'ing the DBI extension. A BEGIN block which preceeds the use statement lexically will do the trick. Be aware that no flavor of *ix (which I'm aware of) other than AIX has a system loader which responds to changes after initial program load. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Steve      |
