That's a different problem. You have something like:
use lib qw(/home/me/lib);
use MyModule;
use X;
my $c = new X; # Causes failure
yes? Then it suggests that you have a CPANModule.pm underneath /home/me/lib.
If this doesn't solve it, post a minimal (<20 lines) script that reproduces
the problem, plus an ls -R of your personal lib directory, and for that
module X, whatever it is, show us what this produces:
perl -MX -le 'print $INC{"X.pm"}'
replacing X with the module name (and if it contains any ::, change each ::
to / inside the double quotes.
