If you don't have admin privileges on the box, the best solution would
be to use local::lib[1] to install Perl modules in your home directory
for you (#perl IRC channel on FreeNode, or perlmonks are really helpful).

I really recommend it, together with cpanm[2] (which can configure
local::lib for you, via --local-lib option), though the latter is not
necessary.

[2]: http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-cpanminus-1.4008/bin/cpanm


If you have admin privileges, I think the best solution would be
either find repository which has subversion-perl that matches your
version of Subversion, or compile subversion-perl from a source
package... though this might be more difficult, it has advantage of
being in package management.

You have to install subversion-perl somewhere, not only build it.
Though you could fiddle with PERL5LIB (which is PATH-like environmtne
variable to specify where to search for Perl modules) to make Perl
find your built but not installed Alien::SVN.
