What is the official way to install perl modules in DA? I can see a list of them in the panel but no hint as to the installation process.

Also, maybe you want to fix a typo here

Path to pearl:
/usr/bin/pearl

 
I've always used CPAN to install perl modules. Should be pretty straightforward
Bash:
root> perl -MCPAN -eshell

install 'modulename'
 
To install Perl modules, use CPAN or CPANM (CPAN Minus). Run the command cpan <Module::Name> or cpanm <Module::Name> in your terminal. Ensure Perl and CPAN are properly configured on your system.
 
Also, if your Perl is a system version, the modules you are looking for might be available via your OS update tool (I.e rpm, apt, dnf, etc).
For example: dnf install perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu.x86_64
