The directory ~/.cpan/ is where the command `cpan` saves its local
states, intermediate files, download cache, configurations... etc.

The directory ~/perl5/ is a conventional place where local::lib-based
installations are stored. It is where local::lib code would look find
some receipts of what's installed inside and print out those env vars
as the mechnism to tell `perl` to also find modules under ~/perl5/.
