Installing Perl modules without root privileges

The one thing I hate about not running my own server is not having root privileges. It just makes my life a bit more complicated. Fortunately, I can usually get around this little problem. When I started using PHP-Nuke, I figured out how to create my own symbolic links to my own images directory, so I could add new ones. Now I need some Perl modules, and fortunately, you can install without superuser privileges. This article is about installing mod_perl, but of course the concepts apply to anything...

(Oh, and if you can't run CPAN, you can search CPAN and download the packages manually...)
