Interesting, I didn’t know that MyCpan.pm defaulted make install to run under sudo. FWIW I’ve been running sudo cpan on macOS for almost 20 years with no ill effects.
Frack, I am sorry, my mistake and I have to eat crow. Seems when cpan first sets up MyConfig.pm if there isn't any, the default is "local::lib" and not "sudo". When I set up a new environment I barely pay attention to the defaults since I typically set up two MyConfig.pm files. One with sudo and one with "local::lib". I will have sometimes have two or three different PERL5LIB settings and create short source scripts for each that set a bunch of CPAN related Perl environment variables and symlink MyConfig.pm from a MyConfig.pm.local.
Still, running "sudo cpan" from a user account is not the "Perl" way and even before I started contributing to F::Q, I used "cpan" to install F::Q (with MyConfig.pm set to use sudo for installs) and not the GnuCash supplied tool.
