When I install modules via CPAN, for some reason best known to itself, it installs them in "C:/Users/Chris Brown/Perl5/lib/perl5"

Sounds like local::lib, as Corion pointed out the last time you asked. Check if you've got the environment variables PERL_MB_OPT and/or PERL_MM_OPT set, which would explain why modules get installed to that path.

I have also put the path in the main progrem: use lib qw(C:/Users/Chris Brown/perl5/lib/perl5);

With that path, I believe the correct lib would be: use lib 'C:/Users/Chris Brown/Perl5/lib/perl5'; (Update: yup, confirmed with a test that a path like that should work). On Windows, and especially with multiple Perls installed, perhaps try not relying on the PERL5LIB environment variable.

If that still doesn't work, then you've got something really strange going on with your install. Are you sure you only have one Perl installed on your machine? (Again, look for any environment variables from old installs.)
