[pm-h] Perl on Linux Mint

Sun Oct 20 07:06:53 PDT 2019

I am on Linux Mint now and have the base Perl install:
perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for 
x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 67 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

I want to install modules and am having trouble (see far below).

Maybe I can work out that trouble, but I want to ask
you'all how I should set up my system.  Just use what
I have (5.26.1) or install PerlBrew and perhaps some
other Perl version?

If I ever do get a module installed, can you tell me where
they will reside?  usr/bin has no folders at all.
Oddly, usr/lib does not have a perl folder in it either.
usr/share/perl has a "5.26" directory and "5.26.1" directory.
