That is what I do, so that the two installations are independent. I 
configure simply like this:

cd downloaded_directory
./Configure -de [email protected] [email protected]
make
make test
sudo make install

Others may have more elaborate configuration suggestions but this 
works fine for me.

If I want to use the latest perl I change the shebang accordingly.

One thing to remember, of course, is that to add modules with cpan to 
5.14.0 so configured, rather than to Apple's installation, you need to

cd /usr/local/bin; sudo ./cpan
