To include your own path, you can use one of the following:

1) change the environment variable,PERL5LIB
2)  use lib 'path/to/module_folder';
3) #!/path/to/perl -w -I/path/to/module_folder

try

make install PREFIX=$HOME/dir
[download]

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/dir
make
make test
make install
[download]

or better yet (for the final step)
make pure_install
which will (as I understand it) keep it from trying to install PODs in places you can't write to. In any case, it works (or rather, it works for me) and it emits fewer error messages in the process, which is a nice bonus.
