Yes, you can. Exactly how easy it will be depends on which module. A pure Perl one should just be a matter of downloading the pm file, saving it with an appropriate name (e.g. for module Foo::Bar, use filename "C:\MyStuff\lib\Foo\") and then including the following at the top of your script:

use lib 'c:/MyStuff/lib';

Or run Perl with a command-line option telling it the location of your libraries.

perl -Ic:\MyStuff\lib

For XS modules that require compiling, it's more of a challenge, but assuming you have a compiler, ultimately possible.

Of course, most modules have dependencies on other modules, so you'd need to make sure they are installed too.
