    Thanx for the reply.
    The link suggested by you mentions about using the perl modules installed in my home directory.
    My issue is that I have the perl modules installed by the root under /usr/opt. I want to use these perl modules only.

      One way is to have all your programs access the modules via pragmas of the following type: 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
use lib "/usr/opt/<path-to-perlmodule-folder>";

      The other way is to specify the path in each user's .bashrc or .login which is called when you login like this (you can also make an entry in /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/login.defs or equivalent files so that new users you add automatically get it into their login rc files). 
      export PERL5LIB=/usr/opt/<path-to-perl5-module-folder>
