I did add that line to .bashrc

What do you mean by "that line"? Note that you should run the echo 'eval... command I showed at the command line, and not add that line to .bashrc. If you did run that command, you should be able to look at your .bashrc with something like tail ~/.bashrc, and at the end of the file, see several variable definitions like PATH=..., PERL5LIB=..., and PERL_.... If you don't see those, then perhaps something went wrong with the echo 'eval ...' >>~/.bashrc command.

If you do see those variables, and you've logged out and back in again, you should be able to do echo $PATH and somewhere in the output find something similar to /home/yourusername/perl5/bin, and if you do echo $PERL5LIB, see a path perl5/lib/perl5 below your home directory. If you can see those things, then at the moment I don't see why the command to install cpanm should fail - did you get any error messages? If you could show (inside <code>) tags the exact commands you tried and the output you got (including the output of the commands I showed here, like echo $PATH), that would be helpful.
