I have Ubuntu installed under Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). There are Perl5 modules installed under /usr/share/perl/5.30.0 and I can access these with a plain use statement. But when I install new modules with cpanminus, it puts them in /home/*****/perl5/lib/perl5/, where the interpreter can't find them unless I have a use lib declaration at the top. Is there some way to get cpanm to install them in the right spot? Here is the relevant output of perl -V. IDK if the entries in %ENV were there before I used cpanm. Otherwise the installation is what came with the distro. 
%ENV:
