+shrpenv (libperl.U):
+ If the user builds a shared libperl.so, then we need to tell the

+ One way to do this on some systems is to set the environment variable

+ Typical values are
+ shrpenv="env LD_RUN_PATH=$archlibexp/CORE"
+ or
+ shrpenv=''
+ See the main perl Makefile.SH for actual working usage.
