Hi
I didn't intentionally install the modules in the home directory but even if I did, I am trying to run a cron perl script as user (not root). So perl should have configured itself to do that by default.
I have just run  sudo cpan BLOB, the other module not found. It is installed in /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1/BLOB
Installing the modules as root has fixed the problem. The perl compiler can now find the modules by default.

So modules installed with CPAN in the home user directory aren't found when the script is run as user by cron. That's a bug.
