Its already been touched on by previous comments, but here's the dance I do on my system where I do not have permission to install Perl modules in the defualt area. 
tar zxvf Module-v0.0.tar.gz
cd Module-0.0
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/private/install/spot
make && make test && make install

Note that under Perl 5.8 this works great, but <5.8 you may need to also define INSTALLMAN1DIR and INSTALLMAN3DIR to get the doc to install correctly.
Now make sure you set PERL5LIB in your .localrc or .bashrc or whereever you login stuff goes
