I have to redo something which I did a long time ago and I have forgotten the details. My goal is to have my own installation of Perl, install the DateTime module, and then use the DateTime module in my Perl code.

I have done the following commands: 

setenv PERLBREW_ROOT /rhome/dotykg/perl5/perlbrew
curl -L http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
perlbrew install-patchperl
perlbrew install-cpanm
perlbrew install perl-5.16.3

[download]

All of the above was successful and I currently have the Perl object at this directory path:

/rhome/dotykg/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/bin/perl

My first question is where in the above directory path do I perform this command: 

cpanm DateTime

[download]

Then at the top of my Perl code I assume I need a minimum of the following: 

#!/rhome/dotykg/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DateTime;

[download]

This is actually my second attempt at this process. After my first attempt, even with a successful build of the DateTime module, the Perl code could not locate the latter module. So I am doing something incorrect somewhere. Thanks in advance for any guidance. Kevin Doty
