If you look to the version nrs in your paths, xubuntu updated from perl 5.14.2 in your former xubuntu 13.10 to the more modern perl 5.16.3 in xubuntu 14.04.

I would bet the your lib directory now also refs to /usr/local/share/perl5.16.3 instead of the former link to /usr/local/share/perl5.14.2.

That's why allthough perlbrew is installed (for perl5.14.2), the newer perl version has the newer link to the new lib directory.

Solutions to bypass it would be to create a symlink to the former path, to add it in -I directive when calling perl, add it to the $LIB (not $PATH variable) in your bashrc or to reinstall perlbrew in new perl environment or w/e I might have forgot now.

Personal, I'd let xubuntu just like it is, so other programs that rely via rpm package management or so do it, but just install locally my preferred perl version(s) and work with them. So you can't broke any 3rd program and still can control your own development/production environment and also work with the most modern Perl if you intend so (5.18 or 5.20).

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
