in reply to New to perl - Check authenticity of cpan mods installed/used

I am worried, because I heard that some libraries on Github had some bitCoin mining software compiled into the library.

Don't install from github, install from CPAN. While nobody can guarantee that any code is entirely free from malware such instances will not survive long on CPAN as they have many more eyes on them and are (usually) quickly spotted and removed.
