I just thought "If it is smart enough to know where to install them, then
it should be smart enough to know where to check them".
OK, you should probably add a note... Thanks.
Anyway, maybe doing
$ cpanm ...
should immediately set its internal PERL5LIB to the default if it doesn't find it
set, that way sub-programs that it calls would work as expected.
