compile perl for variable install directory

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a way to do a compile of perl once, but then somehow install it in a directory specified by some sort of environment variable? Only way i see to do that is a separate compilation for each directory location in which i want to install.
