I recall the PERL5LIB environment variable is handy in these situations

shell> export PERL5LIB="$PERL5LIB:/home/monkname/.perl"
shell> perl -e 'print "@INC\n"'
/home/monkname/.perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/ /usr/l
+ib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/ /usr/lib/pe
+rl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/sit
+e_perl

You can find more info on the environment variables that perl uses in the perlrun manpage.
