It looks to me there is a wrong format in the task. According to:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/cpanm\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/cpanm_module.html)  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/items\_lookup.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/items_lookup.html)

it should be something like this:

- name: install perl modules  
community.general.cpanm:  
name: “{{ item }}”  
with\_items:
- DBM::Deep
- Digest::MD5
- Encode
