LD_PRELOAD without shell

hel1os has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello I use some command-line soft, running it with IPC::Open2
$pid = open2($co, $ci, "./progname", "--option1", "--option2", "$param +");
It's necessary to start it without shell(i need real PID) But I need to preload some lib. Adding "LD_PRELOAD" to "./progname" don't work without using another form of open, which run shell:
$pid = open2($co, $ci, "LD_PRELOAD=./blah.so ./progname --option1 --op +tion2 $param");
Is there a way to preload lib without running shell?

    Have you looked at %ENV? In what way did it fail to work?

    As an alternative, have you tried

    LD_PRELOAD=./blah.so exec ./progname --option1 --option2

    ... to keep the "real" PID?

      is %ENV global for perl and another progs running from it?

      but exec works fine, thanks

        From the linked documentation:

        Setting a value in ENV changes the environment for any child processes you subsequently fork() off.

        I'm sure it could be less specific on fork(), but the part about "any child processes" is still true.
