in thread Test::Simple will install, but not be detected as an appropriate dependency in CPAN

It turns out that no, /root/perl5/lib/perl5 was not in my @INC I ran export PERL5LIB=/root/perl5/libe/perl5:$PERL5LIB and it appears that everything is now installing properly. However, when I try to run a perl dependent software I get the error Can't locate forks.pm in @INC (you may need to install the forks module), so it seems that point @INC to this root library does not include the modules I had already installed. I'll simply reinstall them though.

    Now I seem to have shifted the problem. CPAN says forks.pm is installed and up to date, but Maker (a program that uses forks.pm) still says it can't find it. Running locate forks.pm returns nothing.

      So compare shebangs (commandline, Maker), compare @INC, and figure out the difference

      You can always installl "forks" in a different INSTALL_BASE and tell "Maker" about it
