Quite a while back I had to use a more recent version of Perl than what was on the system. I downloaded the pre-compiled binaries, and extracted them to my user home directory (~/bin, ~/lib, ~/usr, ~/opt, etc). There were also a number of user environment variables I had to set or adjust (LIB, PATH, etc). Everything I did was through trial-and-error, but in the end it worked (for me anyway).<br>
