What I've learned to do when I have this sort of issue is to pop out of CPAN and into ~/.cpan/build.
If you mean that you do that manually, you don’t have to. The “look” command in the cpan shell or the --look option to cpanm does that automatically.
That is, it unpacks the module and drops you into a sub-shell where you can work with the module manually.
Back when I still had to support CentOS 5, I’d occasionally have to do this to get some modules to build because they required local edits or configuration overrides that the upstream developers didn’t want to support, its Perl being deemed too old to bother with any more.

Always good to find out about CPAN options, but yes, I do drop out of CPAN as I may need to do more than just manipulate perl. Especially when I have to go hunt down something in
CPAST.
