+=head1 Setting library load path for instant client libraries
+
+Usually you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the location of
+your Oracle Instant Client (you need to do this when building
+DBD::Oracle). However, afterwards it can be a pain to keep
+ensuring this is set and changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your Perl
+script does not work (needs to be done beforehand) as the dynamic
+linker caches its value.
+
+An alternative under newer versions of Solaris is:
+
+root>  crle -u -l /youroracledir/lib/instantclient_11_2
+
+however, make sure you check the crle options as you may need to
+set the architecture etc as well.
