The binary is have the same name as your offering . Can I have them both in my system wihtout alising one of them?

No , I can't . So, do something which can distinguish your binary from other binary to reside in the same system.

Instructions to rename the binary are already documented at

Renaming the script
-------------------
Use the "--script-name" option to specify a different script name:
perl Makefile.PL --script-name=<new name>
make
make test
sudo make install
(This option may be useful if the default script name ("st") conflicts
with an application with the same name.)

It's not helpful or polite to phrase your issue as "Can I have them both [...] No I can't. So do something"
