You can install modules for your own personal use. I can't
install any since I don't have root access here at the
university.
After much searching I discovered if you do:
perl Makefile.PL LIB='/some/dir' PREFIX='/some/dir'
You can then use modules you install in /some/dir. You just
add:
use LIB '/some/dir'
in the top of your Perl program.
