If you're going to modify an environment variable why not PERL5LIB? 
(It's how we manage things at work).  (use "$ENV{J}/lib" is a cool
trick though) :)

Another trick I do is to define environment vars to turn on bits of debugging.

  use constant DEV_REQUEST => $ENV{DEV_REQUEST} || 0;
  ...
  warn "new request" if DEV_REQUEST;

Since this is done in mod_perl, if its false, the will be completely
skipped if DEV_REQUEST if false.
