[prog] Copying Perl modules

I have a Psion 5mx hand-held computer - these are no longer made, but
it is an excellent little machine.  It runs the Symbian EPOC OS.

I have installed a port of Perl on to it, which comes with a
considerable number of Perl modules.

My question is this: if I want to add extra modules, is it possible to
find out exactly which files belong to the module, and just copy them
from my PC?  Or is it just naive of me to think that might be
possible?

I don't know how to build modules on the Psion, and it certainly can't
be done easily, if at all.  But I'd like to add, for instance,
"Storable" and "YAML": I'm currently working through the Alpaca book,
and the Psion is a useful machine to try out the exercises in the book
when I'm away from home.
