in reply to Is this code secure, can I test it on my machine?

You ask about running a CPAN-module, what about the installation process?

E.g. the automatic tests are in Perl...

(installations are often enough done as root ...)

    Actually in this specific case I was only asking about running the code as there is no installation process but for a package that does have installation process, such as a CPAN module, this should be addressed too.
