I use a hosted web site and they do not have CPAN modules installed. So I have to install them myself. Here is my workaround so far (an example):

perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Spec'

cd /home/my_home_path/.cpan/build/File-Spec-0.82

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/my_home_path/.cpan/CPAN INSTALLDIRS=site INSTALLSITELIB=/home/my_home_path/.cpan/CPAN

make

make test

make install

I then add the following code to my Perl scripts:

BEGIN { unshift(@INC,"/home/my_home_path/.cpan/CPAN"); }

This BEGIN code at the beginning of the script allows me to not change the paths of all my modules.
