Alison,
There are directions on how to do this here:
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix#INSTALLING_BIOPERL_IN_A_PERSONAL_MODULE_AREA
(TinyURL link)
http://tinyurl.com/3263dd
Note the additional configuration for CPAN in that section; you'll
need to set up CPAN so it installs everything locally.
