Are you sharing the same Perl installation on the second machine from
the first one or is the location different?  You'll need to install the
rrdtool package located in orca-0.XX/packages/rrdtool-XXXXX into this Perl.
You can run configure in that directory and then cd into perl-shared and
run perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install.

Also, the better way to modify @INC is to do

    use lib '/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/lib/perl/';

This way you don't need to write the more complicated code and don't
need to place it in a BEGIN {} block.

Best,
