Where are Perl modules installed in Ubuntu?

In Windows, Perl modules are installed in C:/Perl64/site/lib/. What is the corresponding location in an Ubuntu system?

To find out where a module is installed, you can use:

perl -E'use Some::Module; say $INC{"Some/Module.pm"};'

You can find out where perl will look (@INC) using

perl -V    # Uppercase "V"

or

perl -E'say for @INC'

I don't know why you'd want to know, so I'm not quite sure what you are actually looking for. A more detailed question could lead to a better answer.

perldoc can tell you where any particular module is installed with its -l (lowercase ell) switch:

% perldoc -l Module::Name

The location of the Perl libraries depends entirely on the installation. The folders that Perl searches to load a library are stored in the @INC array, which you can display using

perl -E "say for @INC"

On my installation this outputs

C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib
C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib
C:/strawberry/perl/lib
.

You'll find them in /usr/lib/perl/{VERSION}/ as well as /usr/lib64/perl/{VERSION}/.

{VERSION} corresponding to the version of Perl. You can get it with perl --version.
