[Koha] importing authorities

Nicole,
I've found it useful to add Koha's environmental variables to the bash
config file. After doing this, the perl libraries are always available
to the user corresponding to the config file and it's not necessary to
run "export PERL5LIB=/*path*/*to*/perl5lib" every time.
I add:
export KOHA_CONF=/*path*/*to*/koha-conf.xml
export PERL5LIB=/*path*/*to*/perl5lib
to the end of the following file:
/home/*user*/.bashrc
Cheers,
