I am attempting to use a module I downloaded from CPAN. I am on a unix system where I dont have root permissions. So the CPAN module will have to go in my home directory.

I untarred the CPAN module here:
/users/<myusername>/perl/Tk-DKW-0.03

I ran the make file. It put the module files at:
Tk-DKW-0.03/blib/lib/Tk

I went to the example directory:
Tk-DKW-0.03/examples

Then I edited one of the examples and put a use statement at the top:
#! /usr/bin/perl

use lib "/users/<myusername>/perl/Tk-DKW-0.03/blib/Tk";
use Tk::Menustrip;

[download]
I then get this error: 
(attocs951:examples)#482 ./menustrip.pl
Can't locate Tk/Menustrip.pm in @INC (@INC contains: "/users/<myuserna
+me>/perl/Tk-DKW-0.03/blib/lib/Tk /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-
+thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x8
+6_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/x86_64-linux
+-thread-multi  . . . . .

If I do a ls of the directory I see the modules:
ls /users/<myusername>/perl/Tk-DKW-0.03/blib/lib/Tk

total 208K

I dont understand what I am doing wrong.
