I am logging in via root access to my dedicated server.

Running:

cpan

cpan> install Mod::what

and it is putting the modules in the root directory:
/root/perl5/lib/perl5/Mod/what.pm
like that... (Mod::what is not real of course)...

Anyhow, it is not putting it where @INC has locations.

So how do I, server wide, put that location ('/root/perl5/lib/perl5/') into @INC so every script I have on every website loads it, OR how do I change where CPAN is putting the modules and have it install them where @INC is looking, namely, in any of these directories where it says @INC includes: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 -> /usr/local/share/perl5 -> /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl -> /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl -> /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5

Either way. I don't have a preference. This is a dedicated server behind a very strong firewall, so neither will hurt anything.

I would appreciate your pointed advice.
best regards,
