set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Perl

Hi..
I'm trying to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a Perl Script. But It doesnt recognize it. Can anyone help me with this? The code I'm using is :
BEGIN
{
$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = "/oracle/u01/8.1.7";
$ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} = "/oracle/u01/8.1.7/lib";
};END;
Any help in this regard is greately appreciated.

We are doing it this way:
$ENV{'ORACLE_BASE'} = "/software/orasys"
unless $ENV{'ORACLE_BASE'} ;
$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = "/software/orasys/clnt817"
unless $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} ;
$ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} = "ORCL"
unless $ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} ;
$ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} = "/software/orasys/clnt817/lib"
unless $ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'} ;

First, I think you are correct in using a BEGIN{...} block - I do not believe you need END; (in fact, it might even be a syntactic error - as I believe it would be END{...})

Second, rather than using a bunch of unless's you could do something like this:

$ENV{ORACLE_BASE} = $ENV{ORACLE_BASE} || "/software/orasys";
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} || "/software/orasys/clnt817";
...

Regardless, have you managed to get things working?
