I had assumed File::Random was the only file needed. But you can check that, just search /home/jesskilb/perlmods/share/perl/5.8.4 for other files beside File/Random.pm. When I look at the source, the only missing module I can see is Want, everything else should probbly be included in 5.8.8. If there are a lot or more "complicated" ones (for example with *.so files), it is best to install them the normal way, like afoken said.

Since you have a shell you might try the following: Just execute your script on the command line and observe the error messages. First without any libraries, then successively add the ones the script complains about missing. This should give you lots of hints what libraries are missing or whether the problem is elsewhere
