Unless I'm totally misunderstanding your question, this is all covered in the CPAN FAQ. http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_private
In short, you can govern where the files are built to on the command line. You can override the default cpan config file by simply creating a .cpan directory structure and config file in your home directory. Pretty sure all of that is covered in the CPAN faq though.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
