In theory, one might set environment variable PERLLIB or PERL5LIB.  This
won't work for scripts that run with euid and ruid that differ.

Alternatively, the scripts using the modules in a non-standard location must
be modified to "use lib qw(/path)", which modifies @INC.

Alternatively, Perl itself needs to be recompiled with new paths.

Alternatively, you need to figure out whether you can place the modules into
a standard location.  It looks like you are trying to do that, but clearly
you are doing something wrong.  What are the names of the modules and their
packages?
