yes,
see perl -V for the content of @INC which is the list of places
where perl looks for modules.

See alsi the order of the places. Thos in PERL5LIB precede the
standard places meaning that if the same module is installed in
both places perl and the cpan shell (which is just a perl script)
will pick the one installed in PERL5LIB.
