in thread Where to unpack CPAN modules

I recommend using a combination of PREFIX= and LIB= as in:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl LIB=~/perl/lib make make test make install

If you have any modules that use Module::Build, the mantra is different: (presented here for completeness)

perl Build.PL install_base=~/perl ./Build ./Build test ./Build install
