Thanks,

this was what I was looking for, but it doesn't seem to be working for 
me. I added the line so that my .bash_profile looks like this:
----
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs
#umask 022

# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
     . ~/.bashrc
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
     PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi

PERL5LIB=/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules
----

I ran the command you told me to, but it didn't work. I logged out and 
then back in again and it still didn't work.

It's not that big of a problem if it doesn't work. I can always invoke 
the -I as Chris suggested. I would like to know how to successfully add 
a path to perl, though.

The other errors concerning z39.50 that I posted to this thread are a 
bigger immediate concern for me.

thanks for your time,

Matthew
