The error message "Can't locate Class/CSV.pm in @INC" indicates that Perl cannot find the module "Class::CSV" in its module search path. This error is likely occurring because the required module is not installed on your system or is not available in the Perl library search path.

To resolve this issue, you need to install the "Class::CSV" module. You can do this using the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) module installer, which comes bundled with Perl.

Open a terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command to launch the CPAN shell:
```
bash
cpan
```
If this is the first time you are running CPAN, it may prompt you for some initial configuration. You can choose the default settings for most of the options.
Once the CPAN shell is ready, you can install the "Class::CSV" module by running:
```
bash
install Class::CSV
```
CPAN will automatically download and install the module and its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you can exit the CPAN shell by typing:
```
bash
exit
```

Once the "Class::CSV" module is installed, you should no longer encounter the "Can't locate Class/CSV.pm in @INC" error. You should be able to use the module in your Perl scripts without any issues.

If you still encounter the error after installing the module, it's possible that your Perl installation has a custom module search path that is not including the standard Perl library directories. In such cases, you may need to add the correct path to the module search path using the use lib directive in your Perl script or by setting the PERL5LIB environment variable. However, this is less common, and the installation of the module using CPAN should resolve the issue in most cases.
