I strongly recommend not messing with the system perl on Linux! Building your own perl can be done as non-root, allows you to use the latest Perl, and gives you the freedom to experiment and play around with things without risking breaking your system Perl.

In case it's of use, this node (in the "Example: build perl v5.38 securely from source on Ubuntu" section) includes a complete example of building the latest Perl securely from source as non-root using App::cpanminus (and its cpanm command), followed by installing and uninstalling a CPAN module.
