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

Installed Text::Unidecode (with no error message).

Then:

$ perl -e 'use Text::Unidecode'
Can't locate Text/Unidecode.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Te
+xt::Unidecode module) (@INC contains: ~/perl5/lib/perl5 ~/perl5/lib/p
+erl5 /usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.28.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.0/darwin-

But:

$ ls -lF ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Text
total 56
drwxr-xr-x  258 xxx  staff   8772 Oct 15 23:02 Unidecode/
-r--r--r--    1 xxx  staff  28162 Nov 26  2016 Unidecode.pm

Tried 3 different installation methods (cpan -i, cpanm, manual install).

(And this module used to work on the same host few years ago. Lot's of system updates since then, though.)

I've read numerous posts on similar topics, but couldn't find any hint to debug this.

Context: MacOS Sierra 10.12.16, perl installed with homebrew

Thanx in advance!

    @INC doesn't do tilde expansion. Use $HOME or full path when assigning to PERL5LIB.

      Wow, I missed that.

      It works now.

      Thank you so much!
