well I installed the module but in the standard repertoire of the user but not in the directory of the perl distribution
First, you should check the various RPM repos to see if they host your module. It's (often) better to use a packaged version than to grab from CPAN. This is doubly true if the module is available from one of the official CentOS repositories.
how to remedy this problem cpan modules installed in /usr/lib/perl/
If you run cpan (note case) as root, it should install to the correct places (assuming you trust CPAN). If you run CPAN as a normal user it generally won't be able to install to the system directories. (I think there's an option for this now, actually, so you could run everything up to "make install" as a normal user.)
If that still doesn't work, move root's .cpan directory somewhere else (e.g., mv ~/.cpan ~/cpan-backup) and re-run cpan from scratch.
