it installed it in your /usr/local directory.
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/Mailer.pm
simply add the line
use lib '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/'; # usually
but in this case you may have to add the
use lib '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/';
typically one tells the cpan shell to use ~/perl/ for the individual
users stuff, but you can reconfigure CPAN to install it where you want.
check the options under
perl -MCPAN -e shell
and enter a '?' at the cpan> prompt for help, and 'o conf' to see the
config options for CPAN's shell.
