local::lib is a way to install Perl modules / packages e.g. in your
home directory.  Please read and follow the instructions on local::lib
manpage ("The bootstrapping technique" section):

  http://search.cpan.org/~apeiron/local-lib-1.008004/lib/local/lib.pm

Then you can install Alien::SVN (or any other Perl package) using
'cpan' client (or intstall 'cpanm' / 'App::cpanminus').
