in reply to Very confused about system perl and local perl

Question 1: Am i right in saying that if I use apt-get it will install modules for use with the system perl and not my local perl? If i want to install modules for local perl I need to use CPAN. This is what I have been doing

That sounds about right

Question 2: How do you configure where apt-get installs perl modules?

AFAIK, I think the idea is to use CPAN with MyConfig to install modules in your user directory (or with local::lib)
