Where does CPAN install Perl modules in OS X?

Just curious where CPAN installs all the Perl modules by default in OS X.

Besides system defaults, you may have configured your CPAN client to install the modules somewhere else. So have a look to your config:

$ cpan
cpan> o conf makepl_arg
cpan> o conf make_arg
cpan> o conf make_install_arg
cpan> o conf mbuildpl_arg
cpan> o conf mbuild_arg
cpan> o conf mbuild_install_arg
cpan> exit

Ask it!

iains-imac:~ bigiain$ perl -e 'print join("\n",@INC)'
/Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0
/System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/System/Library/Perl/5.10.0
/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/Library/Perl/5.10.0
/Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0
/Network/Library/Perl
/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.

(That's a bog-stock 10.6.3 installation)
