Thank you.

I did the following:

unset PERL5LIB

for each version of Perl (5.38.2, 5.34.3, 5.40.1)

perl -E 'say for @INC'

The paths displayed then became part of my PERL5LIB, for each version.

Regarding the "/lib/lib" path, I already noticed that having that was very odd and most likely incorrect. But I'm sure that it results from my (most likely incorrect) understanding of how to install Perl modules for each version of Perl. This is the method that I'm currently using; please correct me if I'm doing it wrong:

/opt/perl/bin/cpanm -L /opt/perl/lib install "module"

/opt/perl_5.40.1/bin/cpanm -L /opt/perl_5.40.1/lib install "module"

I try not to install Perl modules where my MacPorts Perl is (/opt/local/lib/perl) as that is where MacPorts writes things...

So if I uninstall all Perl modules that appear under a "lib/lib" path, and reinstall them, what syntax do I use to make sure that when I reinstall, the modules are placed in the correct location?

Thank you.
