Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC, but it is there

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Guys,

Getting error:

'Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: inc /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl/usr/share/perl5 .) at inc/Module/AutoInstall.pm line 277.'

using

mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --no-clean /home/chris/RPM/SRPMS/perl-POE-Filter-DHCPd-Lease-0.0502-1.el6.src.rpm

The weird thing is that this happens even after uninstalling, re-installing, init-ing mock.
AND CPAN.pm is there in /usr/share/perl5

Anybody got any solns; really need this for work. Tried Google but can't really find anything specific to this.

Cheers
Chris

CPAN.pm is there in /usr/share/perl5 But, `/usr/share/perl5` is not in @INC: `inc /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl/usr/share/perl5 .` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As toolic points out, the path `/usr/share/perl5` isn't in `@INC` as a separate path, but it _is_ catenated onto `/usr/lib64/perl` - I should have a look into how `@INC` is manipulated... A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]
