The dynamic loader read LD_LIBRARY_PATH when (before?) Perl gets going. AFAIK,
it doesn't reread it, so changing it in Perl code is too late unless you set
it and exec your code again (which is basically saying it is too late).
I'm tolerably certain this applies to Solaris; I think it applies
hared libraries into the current process. Dynamically loading a shared
library adds the code to the current process; it does not invoke a separate
program/process.
