Perl's debugger is your friend! With it you can "use <module>" then do 
"f <module>" and find exactly where Perl found it. For me it was:

$ perl -de 0 -MError

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.33
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):   0
   DB<1> f Error
Choosing /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/Error.pm matching `Error':
1       # Error.pm
