title: How can I install local modules with the cpan tool?
body: <p>my admin has given me sudo rights for </p>
  
  <pre><code>cpan
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also need to install a couple of non-CPAN modules (Atlassian Crowd -> svn connector) to the global PERL5LIB. </p>
  
  <p>I vaguely remember that cpan can install from local sources, without pulling modules from the web.</p>
  
  <p>any pointers? can I do it or should I just have him install those modules manually as root (a major hassle for me)? thanks!</p>
