Don’t let what is pre-supplied by RPMs in a Linux distribution dissuade you from prowling about in topics here that talk about “installing Perl as a non-root user.”   Soon enough, you will need to learn about this.   (And I would like for you to please “Super Search” this, and to read some posts, before I continue.

You can install Perl packages such that they are visible to your own local Perl environment even if the packages for your “distro” do not automatically provide them.   You need to learn about how to do this because you will wind up needing to do this, “sooner rather than later ... and in your case, quite possibly right-now.”

/me nods...   (I say in the best possible way ... with my biggest good-natured smile...) “Well, the training wheels have got to come off sometime.”
