Thanks, the above worked for me (I hand-edited ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
after initial configuration).
I found that once I add ~/perl5lib/bin to my path, the corresponding
~/perl5lib/man is added to the output of the 'manpath' command - so the
system took care also of the path for installed manpages.
