Sry for this weak title, but I don't have any idea for a better one.
I'm working on a rockylinux. There is perl preinstalled /usr/bin/perl. I installed mod_perl via yum and used apache/perl-status to check on it. Based on perl-status: I can see version + modules:

Embedded Perl version v5.26.3 for Apache/2.4.37 (rocky) mod_perl/2.0.1
+2 Perl/v5.26.3 process 12268,
@INC =
/MYSTUFF/dev/site/modules/collection
/MYSTUFF/dev/site/modules/core
/usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/etc/httpd
/MYSTUFF/dev/site/modules/fallback

1) How do you update mod_perl? Let's just pretend I wanted to update mod_perl to use a newer perl version. Do I have to compile it by myself while linking to my local installed perl?
2) Does this mean mod_perl will by default use my local perl modules (@INC)?
3) Why can I install mod_perl from my package manager without him knowing which perl I got? Does it just look for the system default one and use this one? Then 1) would be a false idea?

Ending this, one more question regarding cpan. Does it matter under which user I install perl-modules using cpan? So far I use root because I get some permission issues e.g. while installing DBI.
