CPAN version in lucid too old to use lib::local

I use Lucid with the packaged perl modules
Lucid-updates (5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1)
I'd like to add a cpan module for one user.
CPAN will want to override almost all modules from Ubuntu with newer versions; this is fortunately not allowed (no root privileges).

Fortunately, there exists a module lib::local to facilitate this
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN-1.9800/lib/CPAN.pm
As of CPAN 1.9463, if you do not have permission to write the default perl library directories, CPAN's configuration process will ask you whether you want to bootstrap <local::lib>, which makes keeping a personal perl library directory easy.

Unfortunately, the cpan bundled in the latest lucid update is 1.9402
CPAN 1.9402 1.9800 ANDK/CPAN-1.9800.tar.gz

Is it possible to use a newer CPAN (>= 1.9463) in a forthcoming update ?
