Is there an easy/clean way to do this in Linux/ a Linux-like environment?
Purpose
My aim is to run CPAN with admin permissions only during the installation phase, not at the get/make/test phases.
Assuming you’re using CPAN.pm for that, I have a somewhat unorthodox suggestion.
Make a subclass of CPAN.pm, which actually publishes the results/stages of each module it works with to a registry (via a suplied callback API to make the registry implementation flexible).
Then you need to simply check that registry.
(or you can try to put that as a patch into CPAN.pm itself)
