[YLUG] PERL5LIB

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello Roger,

You are right, but PERL5LIB does not behave like that !
I am using bash (or sh), and PERL5LIB is just not exported like the
other variables, it appears to be resetted by gnome-terminal to a value
sitting is /etc/profile.d/atrpms.sh (it I understand right).
