CPAN on CentOS 7 doesn't install things in the system locations by
default (and by design). This is to stop CPAN from over-writing files
that actually belong to rpm packages.
A number of things you can do. The sort of recommended way is to
package the perl modules into an RPM and install them that way (so that
the package managers know about them and can resolve conflicts). There
are progs to do it for - look for cpanspec.
CPAN will install the modules in ~/perl5/... by default - the "real"
way of doing things is to @INC that location at the top of the perl
script or set environment variables appropriately.
Finally, if you must, fiddle with the CPAN configuration to install
them in a system location. But be aware that things might get confused
or break.
