Hi Monks

I am trying to install and use CPAN's Text::Delimited module in my perl script in UNIX.

Steps that I followed 

1. downloaded the module from CPAN site into my local unix directory /
+user/comp/name
2. gzip -dc Text-Delimited-2.00.tar.gz
3. tar -xof Text-Delimited-2.00.tar.gz
4. cd Text-Delimited-2.00
5. perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/user/comp/name
6. make install

[download]

This is what i got 

cp lib/Text/Delimited.pm blib/lib/Text/Delimited.pm
Manifying blib/man3/Text::Delimited.3
Installing /user/comp/name/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Text/Delimited.pm
Installing /user/comp/name/man/man3/Text::Delimited.3
Writing /user/comp/name/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/
+auto/Text/Delimited/.packlist
Appending installation info to /user/comp/name/lib/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-
+thread-multi/perllocal.pod

[download]

A lib and man folder was created in the /user/comp/name folder.

my script modtest.pl resides in the /user/comp/name folder.

Here is my script 

 #!/usr/bin/perl
use lib "/user/comp/name";
use strict;
use Text::Delimited;

my $file = new Text::Delimited;
$file->delimiter('\t');
$file->open('file.txt');

my @header = $file->fields;

while ( my $row = $file->read ) {
    print $row->{COLUMN1};
}

$file->close;

error: which i get is 

  Can't locate Text/Delimited.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /user/comp/na
