I guess you'd prefer using CLASSPATH [1] to PREFIX eh? ;-)
If I were you I would get friendly with your sysadmin and install stuff so
*everyone* on the system can use it.
Also, CPANPLUS [2] has a sudo hook now which could let select users build and
test stuff as regular users, and invoke sudo just for the install bit. Kinda
nice if a sysadmin wants to grant Perl install permissions only.
