perlapps fails to see GMP library while using Math::BigInt

I'm unable to get a perlapp executable to find and use the
OS compiled 
GMP libraries.  Running the
same code while uncompiled will be able find and use GMP. 
The original 
need for GMP came up while
implementing Net::SSH::Perl and dealing with it being very
slow during 
authentication. I found that
when Math::BigInt was using the pure perl routines in
Math::BigInt::Calc 
that ssh became very slow.
When it uses GMP, authentication runs in seconds.  I've
tried a few 
--add, --lib, --runlib commands
during the perlapp compile with no luck.  Is there an ENV
var I can set 
so that the perlapp
executable will be able to use GMP?  Or perhaps something
else to try 
during the compile?  The GMP
lib dir is /usr/local/lib.

Test script to demonstate the problem of not seeing GMP
libs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~
#! /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';
use Net::SSH::Perl;

print "testn";
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Running the compiled version (perlapp test.pl --exe
--force):
./test
Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback
to 
Math::BigInt::Calc at test.pl line 4
test

Running the uncompiled version:
perl test.pl
test

Try building it with "--add Math::BigInt::GMP":

    perlapp --force --add Math::BigInt::GMP test.pl

and let us know if that is working for you.

just a follow up on this.  Adding a "use
Math::BigInt::GMP;" statement 
before "use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';" in my
.pm file
made things work without having to do any special perlapp
compile options.
