So long as you have write access to a directory you can install Perl
modules.  You just need to say

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/dir

if you install by hand or setup your CPAN configuration correctly if
you use CPAN.  You will also want to either use the lib* pragma or set
the PERL5LIB environmental variable to point to the directory where
you are installing the modules.

* See perldoc lib or http://perldoc.perl.org/lib.html
