I don't think so, the PERL5LIB is set in my .bash_profile

True, so the problem may just be one of incorrect complaints.  What 
seems odd to me is how when it complains it can't find B/Module/Info.pm 
in @INC, and then prints out what it thinks @INC is, it doesn't include 
the paths set in PERL5LIB.
