Cannot locate perl module even if cpanm claims it is up to date

I tried to use the File::Slurp module:

use v5.14;
use warnings;
use File::Slurp;

my $text = read_file( 'test.txt' ) ;

but when I run this I get error:

Can't locate File/Slurp.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/fcihh/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/fcihh/perl5/lib/perl5 /home/fcihh/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/fcihh/perl5/lib/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./p.perl line 5.

Running cpanm File::Slurp gives:

File::Slurp is up to date. (9999.19)

There are probably two perl involved. Execute the following, using the same perl as you're using to execute the script (specify the path if necessary):

perl -e'use CPAN; install "File::Slurp"'

You've since mentioned that your cpan (unlike your cpanm) is configured to use the same perl as you're using to execute your script, so you can simply use

cpan File::Slurp
