It sounds like you're recommending:

Which sounds not unreasonable. I set:

KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

Which seems reasonable. I then set:

PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib

I chose this because the failure message for rebuild_zebra.pl claims it can't 
locate C4/Context.pm in @INC, which includes /etc/perl, and where that file can 
be found.

It would appear that these choices were incorrect, or that I've made some other 
important error, as these two changes make no change in the failure message when 
I run rebuild_zebra.pl.

I *did* warn y'all I was a newbie....
