Yes, that's why I was looking for a lib, that find such dirs, depending, on what OS, the perl program is launched.

Unfortunately, File::HomeDir is not a standard module. It's not helping.
It's like a catch 22, I order to run a program with libraries, I need to be able to tell my program to tell, where those libraries are. In order to tell, where the libraries are, I have to tell load a library, that can tell it. That's why I need a module, or a variable, that's is standard on perl distros.
