For simple variable access, I have been using something like ...
package ... ;
BEGIN
{
for my $opt ( qw< l i s t > )
{
# Normalize.
my $sub = lc $opt;
$sub =~ tr/-/_/;
no strict 'refs';
*$sub = sub
{
# get|set a variable based on number
# (and/or kind, value) of arguments passed.
};
}
}
... Moo|Moose may allow less text to type; provide more flexibility, validation, etc; haven't bothered yet.
As for not being able install new modules, you could copy the text of the modules which are written in pure Perl (don't need a C compiler). That won't help when the newer perl syntax is present, obviously.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
