Cause


The problem may be caused when there are multiple versions of Perl installed on the same system where the search path environment variable is setup so that the "incorrect" Perl version is chosen first.

Resolving The Problem





Remove any incorrect paths in your system path statement.

Then move the ...\clearcase\bin path closer to the beginning of the system path environment variable and restart the machine.
