[Koha] Fines does not charge even when an item is overdue

[Limo]

Running fines.pl
*/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl <http://fines.pl>*

gives this error message:
Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC (you may need to install the C4::Context
module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at
/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl line 33.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl
line 33.

solved it by copying it to perl:
*cp -a /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/ /etc/perl/*

running fines.pl again gives this error:
Can't locate Koha.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Koha module)
(@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5

*However Koha.pm is available at /etc/perl/C4/Koha.pm*
