Perl : Locating a perl module file

How do you find out exactly where a perl module file is ? Following example searches Template.pm in the paths where perl modules are installed.

find `perl -e '$,="\n";print @INC'` -name Template.pm

Note

The perl command is in back-ticks. This is an example of command execution within a command.
