Hello Maxim,
I say $HOME/perl5 (~/perl5) is where my
personally installed modules are located.
Actually in ~/perl5/lib/perl5/
I am less sure about $HOME/.cpan (~/.cpan),
but I think that is where the cpan settings
are stored. But looking inside it suggests
it is more than just settings.

Dear all,
How are you? I re-read the README file of the local::lib module. There
was one more command missing:
echo 'eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)"' >>~/.bashrc
My new Perl settings in the .profile file are:
# Perl 5.38
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PERL5LIB=$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5
eval `perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`
Now everything works. But I still don’t understand the setup very
well. What is the difference between the ‘.cpan’ and ‘perl5’
directories? What is their purpose? Thank you and have a great day ahead!
