@INC is simply Perl's list of directories that it is looking for Perl
modules in.

You need to run the following, or put in your ~/.bashrc:

export PERL5LIB=/home/nengard/kohaclone/

Basically, Koha imports modules from the C4 module. It needs to be told what
directory to look for the C4 directory in, however. In a dev install, this
is your Git clone; on a standard install, it would be something like
/usr/share/koha/lib/.

On my machine, for instance, since my Koha git clone is at
/home/jesse/projects/koha, and the C4 directory with Koha's Perl modules is
thus at /home/jesse/projects/koha/C4, I do this:

export PERL5LIB=/home/jesse/projects/koha

Opted to explain too much rather than too little, hope this helps,
