Aye, that works.

Yep, sounds like a decent idea.  If you are using mod_perl then no
matter what you have locally apache will still use the system perl
(unless you built your own apache that is...).

Sure, download the latest stable perl (perl.org).  Look in the INSTALL
file, and about a page and a half down it tells you what steps to take
to install to a non-standard location.  Its really easy.  When you get
to the part where you run the configure script one of the questions it
asks is where to install perl (the default us /usr/local/ I believe).
Tell it you want something like /home/thartman/apps/perl/.  It should
be fine to just hit enter for all the other questions since the
defaults are pretty sane.
