SUMMARY: Loading perl modules bassed on Solaris uname

Thanks to those who responded. 

There are a few discussons on the net about this. Apparently the use 
statements are processed before ANY other perl code so... 

use lib $path is equal to use lib "NULL". 
You cannot use a variable yet because perl has not parsed that bit of
code that defines $path. 

The only way I am able to push a dynamic directory onto the INC array is
by wrapping perl in a shell script setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or 
by adding a bit of ugly code. Still can't seem to get DynaLoader to look
in a different directory so I created a sun4-solaris/auto directory under 
each 5.6,5.7 amd 5.8 directory to hold my .so files  

use strict;
use POSIX qw(uname);
my ($uname_s, $uname_r)  = (POSIX::uname())[0,2];

if (($uname_s eq "SunOS") && ($uname_r eq 5.6)) {
      use lib qw(/var/opt/modules/SunOS/5.6);
   } elsif (($uname_s eq "SunOS") && ($uname_r eq 5.7)) {
      use lib qw(/var/opt/modules/SunOS/5.7);
   } elsif (($uname_s eq "SunOS") && ($uname_r eq 5.8)) {
      use lib qw(/var/opt/modules/SunOS/5.8);
   } else {
      die("$0 is only supported on Solaris 2.6, 2.7 & 2.8 \n");
   }
