The problem, as I understand it, is that the new perl has to run as
part of the build process.  It has some dynamically loaded modules
that aren't installed yet, and that aren't in any of the standard
WORLDTMP library locations.  Mark needs a way for the dynamic linker
to be able to find those modules.

Did I get that right, Mark?
