We run more then just the perl provided with AIX as the AIX perl isn't complete and in some cases missing pieces of the modules that are supposedly included. The impact of changing the PERL5LIB in /etc/environment is that ALL perl scripts are impacted to look first in the directories listed. As such the production impact is:
1) minor -- wasted search of a directory structure if nothing is in there matching the desired modules
2) major -- if a module does exists there that is incompatible with the perl being run (5.22), then the script fails.
PERL5LIB should never be modified or set in /etc/environment as it impacts the entire system rather then the specifically desired application. For custom extensions to perl, scripts should utililze the 'use lib' functionality to augment their include path.

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for your email.
I did some check, I found these code have existed here for long long time. It's not a new thing for xcat 2.9.3.
They were added for some reason which maybe do not exist right now. It's ugly but maybe harmless.
So could you tell me if you hit some real problem, for example some feature don't work or they affect your product environment.
More information is helpful. Thank you very much.
Best Regards!

Subject: [xcat-user] install issue on AIX xCAT 2.9.3
Date: Thu, May 19, 2016 2:38 AMI am in the process of upgrading my mixed clusters to 2.11.1 on Linux and AIX 2.9.3. When updating xCAT-client-2.9.3-snap201603040244 rpm it seems to have added the following two lines in /etc/environment:
# xCAT Perl setup
PERL5LIB=/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi
Which gives me two problems:
1. PERL5LIB is system wide so it breaks my system env when those lines are in there, since 5.8.2 is very old and not in line with AIX 7.X
2. It's the wrong path in any case when you are working with the xcat-dep rpms in AIX 6.1 which uses 5.8.8 and 7.X, which use perl 5.10 or 5.20
