Not sure I understand. Seems you listed the command two lines before you asked the question. > - where are the new files going? Almost always into the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 directory.

You will need to update files already created in the directory structure. Primarily, but not only, /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux/perllocal.pod. > In few words: can I use a distinct package user for each > Perl module/program?
