Nobody installs modules by hand, they pretty much always install them via the CPAN shell.

And thus, "sudo cpan" is probably far more common than the alternative.

  Oh, you'd be surprised. Sometimes you're given little choice. Installing Perl modules on "secure" servers with extremely limited network access is awfully entertaining.

    That's why you put CPAN on a CD. It makes it easy. See my recent article in The Perl Review [theperlreview.com] or the perlcast on MyCPAN [perlcast.com]. :)
