I believe you can configure the cpan program to pass LIB=~/perl
(or someplace else of your choice) to the "perl Makefile.PL"
command.  You'd probably also have to set your PERL5LIB path (and
perhaps also PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to search this directory
before searching the standard Perl directories.
