take a look at http://www.rcbowen.com/imho/perl/modules.html. Specifically he/she writes:
If you do not have root permissions on the machine where you want to install the module, such as if you wish to install a module in your home directory, just change one of those commands. Instead of perl Makefile.PL type perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/where/you/want/it That will put all the files in that directory. In order to use modules that are stored in that location, you will need to add the following like to your Perl programs: use lib /path/to/where/you/want/it ___ if those lines dont answer the question check the rest of that document, it is very good at explaining it.
