The point is that sudo should _never_ be used inside any module or script. Ever!
So why did you put it in your "make_install_make_command" CPAN configuration
variable then?

Hmm. Looking at the INSTALL file, there's this:
## Installation with cpanm
If you have cpanm, you only need one line:
% cpanm Const::Fast
If you are installing into a system-wide directory, you may need to pass the
"-S" flag to cpanm, which uses sudo to install the module:
% cpanm -S C
I can't reproduce that behavior.

I tried installing Const::Fast and it runs sudo. Why is such a blatant
security risk in a CPAN module? And are there more?
