For some reason, PREFIX automatically gets /lib added to the end before it
gets used for the location of installing the modules. I'm sure this makes
complete sense to those people who understand this stuff, but I am not one

It would probably work fine if you just put in

I think you should rebuild with -Dotherlibdirs set to
/app/common/oracle/perl/local/lib
