How to resolve cloning issue: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at adcfgclone.pl line 26.

While running adcfgclone.pl as a part of database Tier clone, the below mentioned error occurs:

  

-bash-3.00$ perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /ade/smayer_perl58_main_linux/perl58/bin/Linux/Opt/lib/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /ade/smayer_perl58_main_linux/perl58/bin/Linux/Opt/lib/5.8.3 /ade/smayer_perl58_main_linux/perl58/bin/Linux/Opt/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /ade/smayer_perl58_main_linux/perl58/bin/Linux/Opt/lib/site_perl/5.8.3 /ade/smayer_perl58_main_linux/perl58/bin/Linux/Opt/lib/site_perl .) at adcfgclone.pl line 26.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at adcfgclone.pl line 26.

As indicated in the above error message, this is due to the PERL setting. We dint have the PERL5LIB set :

-bash-3.00$ echo $PERL5LIB

-bash-3.00$ which perl

/d02/oradev/devdb/10.2.0/perl/bin/perl

Resolution: $PERL5LIB was set to resolve the issue:

Note: The same error might also occur while running adpreclone.pl on DB tier, if the PERL settings are not in place.
