To use a custom location for libraries, put

use lib '/wherever/you/want';
at the top of your script.

As for packaging libs with your script, the approach you've outlined won't work. When you install a Perl lib via make it will be built for the system it's being built on. Some modules are simple enough that they can be picked up and moved, but most not.

There are many ways to solve your problem, from packaging a self-contained app, to including a README with instructions on how to get missing libs. It depends on your users' ability, mostly.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
