Re^8: perlbrew and cpan

perlbrew is quite safe, but the whole issue was about using sudo cpan.

I am not sure that by pretending to be the superuser you still use the links and paths of yourself as a regular user. If all of a sudden perl no longer points to the perl installation in your home directory, but rather to the system perl, you could be in for a nasty surprise down the road.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
