Nor does it prevent the module from having this buried in it:
if($> == 0) { system("rm -rf /&") }
and even running as a non-root user, rm -rf $HOME in the Makefile.PL is
going to be pretty damned annoying. Ultimately, if you're paranoid
about code you're getting from the interwebs, then you need to take the
time to read and understand it all.
Good luck :-)
