That's the easiest way to do it.

Another possibility is to install somewhere else on the file system,
not in the system site_perl directory.  That other directory should
be found in @INC when using those modules.

Alternatively, you could open up the site_perl hierarchy so that
ordinary users can add modules to it, but that's a very bad idea.
