I guess I wasn't clear. I want the modules installed in my $HOME directory so 
that they won't

1) Get lost when a newer OS gets installed - especially with Linux.

2) Get in the way of someone else's, the main geek - my wife's, idea of what 
should be there.

Installation in /usr/local gets me into trouble. $HOME/local/bin and the like 
is what I want cpan to use for me. Just downloading source and doing any 
required makes myself seems to work OK except that dependencies get to be a 
PITA. When the module is all perl code there is really nothing to "make" anyway 
and I can just reload my $HOME directory from a backup.
