At a terminal you should be able to set PERL5LIB environment variable in your shell to point to whatever directory you wish the modules to live under, for instance HOME/lib where HOME is your home directory, then just run perl -MCPAN -e shell and install as normal. Then in your scripts you will have to add a 'use lib' line, similar to: use lib '/HOME/lib'; Before you 'use' any of the modules in that directory. This is the easiest way, if you must install by hand then you will most likely need to pass a PREFIX=/path/to/lib/dir directive to perl Makefile.pl, and if you don't have a terminal, then you should be able to install a local version where you are doing your development and then just recursively upload the directory, but this is dangerous as you must make sure the two environments match before installing.
