Sidenote - To show the predefined paths, execute from command line:

The module search uses the order in which they occur in @INC.
The first module found with a certain name is used, even if there are several
modules with the same name in different paths.
You could put your modules in one of the paths shown, but usually it's better
to use your own directory/directories with your modules to separate them from
the system modules
(you can group them sensefully in different paths, and with a group of related
modules you often have a directory tree with modules in it).
If you use your own directory, you must put a line like the following in your
scripts to enable perl to find your modules:
use lib 'path_to_your_module_dir_tree';
this will change the @INC variable automatically by putting your path in the
front of the path list.
(this way, you can override default modules in default paths, because your
path is searched first)

perldoc lib
(now I see that you will find about the same I've written above...)
