I was too lazy to look it up so i did this:
na:/home/eric$ PERL5LIB=/foo/bar:/foo/bar/baz perl -e 'print join ("\n", @INC)'
/foo/bar
/foo/bar/baz
/etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8
/usr/share/perl/5.8
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.3
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.3

It worked with a ':' separator (ala PATH).
With a space separator, I got a line with "/foo/bar /foo/bar/baz" which
wouldn't have worked. Use a ':'.

Mind if I bounce this to public-annotea-dev ?
