Aside from trying
perldoc <module name> individually for any CPAN module that takes my fancy or going through the file system and looking at the directories I have no idea what modules we have installed.
What's the easiest way to just get a big list of every CPAN module installed? From the command line or otherwise.

Check installed perl modules via terminal Available commands are: l - List all installed modules m <module> - Select a module q - Quit the program cmd? Then type l to list all the installed modules, you can also use command m <module> to select the module and get its information. After finish, just type q to quit.
CPAN doesn't actually install files. It runs the install script embedded in each distribution, which then performs the actual install. For distributions using ExtUtils::MakeMaker, the defaults are documented here: https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#make-install (and the default value of INSTALLDIRS is site ).
This is answered in the Perl FAQ, the answer which can be quickly found with perldoc -q installed. In short, it comes down to using ExtUtils::Installed or using File::Find, variants of both of which have been covered previously in this thread.
You can also find the FAQ entry "How do I find which modules are installed on my system?" in perlfaq3. You can see a list of all FAQ answers by looking in perlfaq

perldoc perllocal Edit: There's a (little) more info about it in the CPAN FAQ
