Put everything in /usr/local/lib/site_perl. Once the immediacy of your need has gone away, you can spend time looking for a better solution. I would have sworn File::Find was packaged. The biggest issue you will face is if another package depends on say File::Find it will install it and you will have two possibly differing versions of a perl module installed.
