Rather than answer just what you asked, here's what I do.

I use perlbrew to keep the latest 5.15.x installed, as well as blead, when
needed.  (It can install the latest blead as "blead")

So, say I want to test Bit::Vector.  I run:

  perlbrew lib create 5.15.8@bit-vector

...to create a "bit-vector" local::lib attached to my "5.15.8" perlbrew.

Then:

  cpanm --look Bit::Vector

...which drops me in a shell with the latest Bit::Vector unpacked.  Then:

  perl Makefile.PL && make test

And that's about it.
