PERL5LIB or PERLLIB can cause scripts to fail

Troubleshooting


Problem

Setting the PERL5LIB or PERLLIB environment variables before executing any of the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® or ClearCase MultiSite® perl scripts may cause the script to fail.

Symptom

Setting the environment variables PERL5LIB or PERLLIB in the environment from which ClearCase processes are run, may result in run-time errors having to do with the ClearCase Perl interpreter finding the wrong versions of Perl modules.

Example from From the Windows Application Event Viewer log:


Application popup: ratlperl.exe - Unable To Locate Component : This
application has failed to start because perl58.dll was not found.  
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
