Correct me if I'm wrong - but this is only for Bourne shells and compatible.
It wont set the environment for my personal zsh shell? For perl modules?
All I want is to have *one* place to set this and then have it done with.
NOT have to set it in half a dozen places for different parts of the system,
and have the concern that sometime down the track that a new system component
will need to know about that environment, but wont know about it because it's
not been manually set.
I would have thought this was a somewhat common need?
