in reply to Re^9: Why is it in some other popular languages fewer steps and potential issues when installing libraries no testing needed and no compilation of C/C++ code done
in thread Why are other popular languages very different from Perl when installing libraries, e.g. no testing needed and no compilation of C/C++ code done

That's it. Given such scant testing it is impossible to determine whether updates or changes to the module will break existing code.

Um, that is why your existing code should include tests :)
