The path Bill gave (potentially adjusted for distribution-specific
locations of Perl modules) is required for Evergreen 2.1 and up. As of
Evergreen 2.1, the Evergreen Perl modules are installed as standard
Perl modules, rather than in a non-standard path that requires
PERL5LIB path munging.

Note that if you upgrade a machine from Evergreen 2.0 to 2.1, you will
want to "rm -fr /openils/lib/perl5" to avoid having the old 2.0
modules get loaded instead of your shiny new 2.1 modules. For those
who made the jump from OpenSRF 1.0 to 1.2 or 1.6, a similar step was
required at that time
