Help for first-timer module install

Hi I am using cpan to install a module, but perl seems to have problems
finding the module or recognising it has been installed. Can anyone
provide a quick fix?
cheers,

Yup, you installed Net::SSH, not Net::Telnet::SSH

perl -h

[...]
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)

^^^^^^^^^^ (!)

Why did you install into /root? Very few normal processes have
access to /root. Perhaps /usr/local or /usr/local/lib would be
better places to install.
