Oh yes, you can do that if you have any write access on a machine. Let's say you want all the modules to go in your personal library directory /home/impalass/lib/perl, then you simply say during the normal install procedure: 

> perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/impalass/lib/perl

[download]

For using the modules, there exist several ways to get your personal library into the @INC library search path: the most convenient one is probably to set the PERL5LIB environment variable in your login profile. And yes, this works on Win32 systems, too.

For more on this, read Effective Perl Programming, pages 163 to 175 (Chapter "Using Packages and Modules").
