Generally this is handled by adding a PREFIX switch to either the perl
Makefile.PL command or by configuring the 'makepl_arg' setting in CPAN.
Additionally you may want to set the LIB switch as well.
See, "5) I am not root, how can I install a module in a personal
directory?"
in perldoc CPAN (near the bottom)
Having installed the module, you will then want to add a line similar to,
use lib qw( /path/to/new/lib/dir );
In your script(s). If you don't where the script will live on the system
but can make the new lib directory relative to the script you should
have a look at,
perldoc FindBin
Or consider having the users set the PERL5LIB environment variable with
the new path, for instance in bash,
export PERL5LIB=/path/to/new/lib/dir
