If ports don't exist for the modules you need, request them, or even create them yourself and submit them; the cpan2port script makes it pretty easy to create ports for perl modules.

I'm not very familiar with CPAN, but if it can be configured to install
somewhere other than the default location, that would be fine. We should
really modify its defaults so using it won't cause conflicts with p5
ports. Same goes for similar tools for other languages like
easy_install/pip, gem, and so on.
