In my login script, I have 
export PERL5LIB=~/lib/perl5

[download]
To install a module, Pure Perl or otherwise, I do 
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~ LIB=~/lib/perl5
make
make test
make install

[download]

I actually use the cpan tool, which allows you to specify command line parameters for Makefile.PL. Do so (once) using: 

o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=~ LIB=~/lib/perl5
o conf commit

[download]

Caveat: PERL5LIB isn't honoured when taint checking is enabled. Add the following to such scripts to make them work: 

use lib '/home/ikegami/lib/perl5';
