What I've discovered recently is that if you want to be completely independent or if you need to use a newer version of Perl than is what installed system-wide then it is also quite easy to install your own Perl interpreter in a private directory (just remember to follow INSTALL and add <code>-Dprefix='/some/dir'</code> to Configure's args). Then you just add this new perl into your PATH - and you can use <code>perl -MCPAN -e shell</code> or <code>cpanp</code> as usual without fiddling with parameters to the *.PL scripts.
