Best guess is that somehow your @INC has got messed up. The reported version of Test::Simple of 0.98 is the version supplied by your OS (ubuntu 14.04). Your initial installation of the module via cpan indicates that this newer version has been installed under /root/perl5/lib/perl5 - is that path in your @INC or not? If so where is it relative to the location of the Test::More version from the deb?

Be very careful mixing vendor perl, vendor modules and third party modules especially when mixing different versions of the same module like this.
