Almost identical with perl, just manipulate the @INC  array.

unshift @INC, $d->perllib_sitesearch();
unshift @INC, $d->perllib_site();

See what perl uses by default for library paths
perl -e "print join(\"\\n\",@INC);"

Similarly the %ENV hash is tied to the process environment.
You could use the Env module to make manipulating path strings easier too.
