Any idea on how I can get a local Perl installation and a local gcc to go along with it?

Er... yes. But last time I built my own gcc was gcc 1.83 on a SPARCstation ELC, and building stage1 through stage3 took 3 days... Why don't you just blame the admins of that box and let them do the job?

Another method that might work for you... grab the desired RPM package, dump it into your home directory with

server$ mkdir gcc; cd gcc
server$ rpm2cpio ~/gcc*.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
[download]

and set the search path and the spec file. You will have to tweak the cflags or such of your perl, that might work copying Config.pm to some place included in the PERL5LIB environment variable, and edit Config.pm. Alternatively, build a local perl, probably tweaking the spec file of the system perl (from the source rpm).
