As stated, I am trying to use a script from the wiki, but I happen to have
plugins installed.
Said script makes no use of plugins, and does in fact call RT::Init.

Actually the test:
   if ( Cwd::realpath($_) eq $RT::LocalLibPath) {
fails, and only that branch allows @tmp_libs #$self->PluginDirs('lib')
into @INC

Apparently the oft-cargo-culted script initialization is not very robust,
and it should have
 use lib qw'/opt/rt3/lib /opt/rt3/local/lib';

Done, but I wonder if a larger design issue is at hand, namely that there
seems to be no allowance for a minimal setup e.g; no plugins; to support the
proper initialization of scripts...
