If it helps, you can use CPAN to get the tarball, then install it
manually. I don't think that will involve any dependency checking,
which is probably why I tend not to use it.
Anyway, if you're so inclined just do this (using AxKit as an example):
perl -MCPAN -e shell
...
cpan> get AxKit
then grab the tarball from the (less than obvious):
~/.cpan/sources/authors/id/M/MS/MSERGEANT/AxKit-1.6.1.tar.gz
By the way, it will also get automagically unpacked into:
~/.cpan/build/AxKit-1.61/
The ~/.cpan bit might be different on your system I guess.
