You should use cpan(m) for everything. That way all modules will be up
to date and they will be installed into the same place.
However, as I went for bigger modules, anything that had dependences were
then failing as the dependencie were installed OK but then did not appear to
be available.
They are not failing; you are running cpan as root and the modules are
installed in /root/perl5/ which probably isn't in your @INC, which is
why they can't be found.
Try:
$ perl -E 'say for @INC'
$ echo $PERL5LIB
# echo $PERL5LIB
I'd suggest to set the PERL5LIB environment variable in your shell
config to something like ~/lib/perl5/.
If you need the modules to be available globally and not only for a
specific user, a better place would be e.g /usr/lib/perl5/*
