newbie Perl question

Ok, this is a complete newbie question but I just need a
quick pointer to understand what's going on.

I am in /System/Library/Perl running commands (as root)
like perl -MCPAN -e 'install "libnet"'

CPAN is stuffing my /tmp directory with the builds of all
these things, but they aren't being installed into
/System/Library/Perl even though it's running make
install. I am getting /tmp/.cpan/build/libenet-1.12/* and
/tmp/.cpan/build/File-Temp-0.12/* etc.

How do I get them out of /tmp?

Although I could copy *.pm out of /tmp into
/System/Library/Perl, but I'd lose all the man pages etc.
that are being generated. I know there must be some way to
"magically" make the right thing happen (after all, that's
what Perl's about, no?).

Can someone help me? Thanks much!
