That's a bug in _your_ script.  There is no requirement or guarantee
that any of the components in the search paths in @INC that are under
the control of the site or local admin exist if they aren't needed by
the current installation.

If you run cpanplus you are expected to set it up correctly as the local
administrator, including the provision of correctly owned directories.
I don>'t know specifically about cpanplus, but any build method I have
used would create those directories when needed, provided it had the
access rights to do so.

That's not what I am seeing:
perl                                     5.40.0-1                        OK

So what did it say is missing from the installation?

Achim.
