Note the lack of any /home/cafaro paths in @INC.

Erm, not exactly.  That showed that the tests ran successfully in an  
unpacked and built source tree under ~/.cpan/build.  It didn't show  
installing, and it didn't run the tests against any installed version.

From what you posted, i will guess that you used cpan as a user to  
install this module, and it went to, most likely, ~/lib or ~/perl.   
Neither of those is in your perl's @INC by default, and neither  
appears to be in PERL5LIB.

So, find where you installed the module, and add the path to that  
library to your PERL5LIB.  The README for Gtk2::GladeXML should have  
an example.
