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

But why? These are the paths Perl already knows about, there's no need to list them in PERL5LIB!

If your cpanm programs have been installed properly, then each of them should be able to install into suitable locations without specifing any -L directory at all. If you run:

cpanm --version

...then each cpanm will tell you which version of Perl it is running, where it is about to install, and where it is looking for libraries (should be mostly the same as where it is about to install, with exception of cpanm's own FatPacked stuff). These should be different for each cpanm, and different from where your MacPorts Perl is installing.
