Here's #INC:

This typically happens when the perl you invoke looks in library directories that other perls left behind. Part of the error is:
Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the
architecture they are running on.
Start investigating there. Find out where it's finding the mismatched Config.pm and fix that issue. Running perl -V to see what's in #INC will help.
Beyond that you'll have to tell us a lot more about your setup.
You've previously mentioned adding a directory to PERL5LIB you shouldn't have added. Please reverse this change and this problem will go away.
You should really take another look at the comments on your previous question
Why does the default cpan on Ubuntu 16.04 give the error "Can't locate B.pm in #INC"?
where I observed that your #INCcontains your home directory /home/paulzierep in the last position
I asked whether the environment variables PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT were set, and your only response says
I changed the PERL5LIB environement var to usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1/ and indeed I am able to open the cpan shell, but ones I try an install now, I get: Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the architecture they are running on
I don't know what you have done to get your home directory at the end of #INC. Both PERL5LIB and the -I command-line options use unshift instead of push, and add locations to the start of the #INC array
It's quite possible to build a new perl image with your home directory in #INC by default, but surely you would have said so if that is what you had done?
Let me be clear: PERL5LIB and PERL5OPT should be undefined for normal operation of perl
So after deleting the perl related environment variables I came back to my previous error post cpan command gives the error "Can't locate B.pm in #INC".
Which I managed to solve, so I assume this answers this post then as well.

I am trying to install one of the Perl module in my server (ubuntu droplet from Digital Ocean). I wanted this module to be installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/ directory which I have already created.
This is specific to one module. I don't want to install it in default path like /usr/bin/perl. I wanted it to be installed in above mentioned path.
Here are the list of commands which I executed to install the Email::Reply perl module.
Downloaded module from metacpan
tar xvfz Email-Reply-1.204.tar.gz
cd Email-Reply-1.204/
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/
su
<password_for_root>
make
make test
make install
When I execute make install command the following output got displayed on terminal screen
Manifying 1 pod document
Installing /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/Email/Reply.pm
Installing /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/man/man3/Email::Reply.3pm
Appending installation info to /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1/perllocal.pod
And I could see the module got installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/Email/Reply.pm path, which is not right path which I mentioned in PREFIX=.
Strange thing here I wrote one small script which uses Email::Reply module by mentioning module path in shebang line
Code below:
#!/usr/bin/perl -I/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/
use EMail::Reply;
print "Hi\n";
still its throws an error

I want this module to be installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/
How to achieve this. Please help me.
This is what local::lib can be used for, and cpanm supports it by default:
$ cpanm -l /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts Email::Reply
This will install it to /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/perl5.
Alternatively you can recreate the options local::lib sets for this case, the important one for this case is PERL_MM_OPT.
$ env PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALL_BASE=/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts' cpanm Email::Reply
Importantly, note that all of this is case sensitive, you must use Email::Reply;.
I just set up an Ubuntu 16.04 box and am trying to get some Perl modules installed. I launched CPAN, and it went through the automatic config procedure. At the end it dumped a few questionable messages:
Couldn't untar local-lib-2.000019.tar: 'Cannot allocate memory'
'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state
HAARG/local-lib-2.000019.tar.gz
Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually

When I restarted it, it came up with the CPAN shell command line like nothing is wrong. Did it get configured correctly, or is there something else I need to do? I'm not a Lunix noob but not an expert either.
Also are there any better options for installing Perl modules on Ubuntu besides CPAN (for example like Activestate Perl Package Manager on Windows)? I've never been too fond of CPAN because of experiences like this.
I have reviewed the dependency documentation found here:
https://help.openshift.com/hc/en-us/articles/202185484-Adding-dependencies-to-applications
And reviewed the information on .openshift/cpan.txt replacing deplist.txt found here:
https://developers.openshift.com/en/perl-overview.html#_template_repository_layout
I have attempted to use the following file in both locations
File::Slurp
File::Path
File::Basename
DBI
XML::Simple
Moose
However the build does not seem to recognize these dependencies. The build does not report errors, but the cpan modules are not available.
[myapp-mydomain.rhcloud.com]\> perl -e "use File::Slurp"

This is a php application with mySql and phpMyAdmin cartridges but I have not found any way to add a "Perl Cartridge" and I saw a post (can't find the link) that indicated it was not necessary as perl was available with all apps. I think I'm missing something somewhere, maybe a Perl cartridge or configuration file is necessary, or maybe headers other content needed in the cpan.txt file? The documentation indicates that the cpan.txt file should "look something like this" - but I could not find anything that gave a real file format spec.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Since you are using the PHP cartridge, you will not be able to automatically install Perl modules using the above methods. That only works on the Perl cartridge. You can try sshing into your gear and running the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" manually, but you might not have write access to the ~/.cpan directory on your gear, so that may not work either. If you can provide more information about what you are trying to do someone might have a suggested solution.
I am trying to use local::lib as I don’t have admin rights on the system and I want to download and install a local library. I ran following:
perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap
make test && make install
echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
After this I tried to download the Module via cpan
by running perl -MCPAN -e shell install netAddr::IP but when i am running my program it's giving an error:
Can't locate NetAddr/IP.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at agha.pl line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at agha.pl line 8.
I took that to mean the module is not installed... So I again tried to go through CPAN, but now it's giving an error (this is in Linux):
-bash-3.2$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
There seems to be running another CPAN process (pid 15611). Contacting...
Other job is running.
You may want to kill it and delete the lockfile, maybe. On UNIX try:
kill 15611
rm /homes/ar312/.cpan/.lock
From the local::lib documentation:
After writing your shell configuration file, be sure to re-read it to get the changed settings into your current shell's environment.
You forgot to do so.
In all seriousness, save yourself a ton of time and trouble by installing perlbrew.
perlbrew is a tool to manage multiple perl installations in your $HOME directory. They are completely isolated perl universes. This approach has many benefits:
No need to run sudo to install CPAN modules, any more.
Try the monthly released new perls.
Learn new language features.
Test your production code against different perl versions.
Leave vendor perl (the one that comes with OS) alone
I am trying to use Perl the first time on my system which is Ubuntu 12.04. I have Perl v.5.14.2 installed.
I looked up how to install Perl modules, so I started as follows:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
The wizard started configuring the environment as can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/5hn8vkb5
Though, it stopped in the middle with the following error message:

What can I do to setup the Perl environment correctly on my Ubuntu installation?
After interrupting the wizard and restarting it again, there is no error message anymore.
How can I start the wizard again so I can choose here:
What approach do you want? (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
[local::lib]
You're missing local::lib, which is what you told CPAN shell to do.
You can install it like so:
sudo apt-get install liblocal-lib-perl
You might be able to start over by rm -rf-ing your ~/.cpan directory. AT YOUR OWN RISK
However, I would recommend trying cpanminus instead of the old CPAN shell.
sudo apt-get install cpanminus
The local namespace was for your own personal modules and wouldn't be found in CPAN. This is something relatively new. At many sites, you might need CPAN modules not in the current version of Perl, or you need a newer version of a particular module. However, you don't have write access to the standard location where CPAN modules are installed.
What this is doing is installing these modules under the $HOME/perl5/lib/local directory where you'll be able to access them. You would also need to setup a PERL5LIB environment variable (usually in your startup scripts), so Perl will check this directory when locating these modules.
If you have sudo privileges, use that to install CPAN modules rather than trying this. The following will install the Foo::Bar module into the standard module directory for you (and do any configuration as necessary):
$ sudo cpan install Foo::Bar
If CPAN needs to be configured, it will do that first.
There are complete directions on doing the local::lib install for modules on MetaCPAN. They're pretty clear.
Several New OS's force (like Redhat 7) force to check presence of local::lib in the perl version, actually its a good thing this enables to users to use CPAN and add,experiment and enjoy new modules to be used with the perl without waiting for sitewide installation (like a root user). By default local::lib looks for $HOME/perl5 dir where the user's local or downloaded modules are located. If you see this problem then you have to do following
sudo su - whatever_user_owns_perl
whatever_perl_install_path/cpan install local::lib
