Your Question is Frequently Asked.

As such it is answered in the perlFAQ that comes bundled with the documentation in every distribution of Perl.

Learning to use the bundled documentation is one of the most useful things for a Perl programmer to learn.

To search and browse the Perl documentation, you use the perldoc program that comes bundled with every distribution of Perl.

Some particularly useful commands to know are:

perldoc perl
perldoc perldoc
perldoc -f FUNCTION
perldoc -q KEYWORD

[download]
In your case, you should read:

perldoc -q "How do I keep my own module/library directory?"

[download]
