L<local::lib>?"  To answer this lets step back and review how Perl searches for
CPAN installed dependencies.

The Perl binary, when you install it, will automatically create a set of 
directories that are used as a sort of "path" to search for dependencies.
You can see yours by typing C<perl -V> from the command line.  Here's what I see
when I do so on my terminal:

  $ perl -V

    [EXTENSIVE OUTPUT SNIPPED]

  @INC:
    /Users/johnn/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.10.1/lib/5.10.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Users/johnn/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.10.1/lib/5.10.1
    /Users/johnn/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.10.1/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Users/johnn/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.10.1/lib/site_perl/5.10.1

Your default search path (or C<@INC>) is typically installed into a global area on
your machine, or as in the case above, when using perlbrew, into a central area
in your C<$HOME> directory.  You can also see this by dumping C<@INC> and C<$ENV{PATH}>:
