okay, I got this right this time.

What are everyone's thoughts on including a warning and forced confirmation when a user goes to "make install" an application, be it downloaded from cpan or elsewhere?

Something like, "you are running make install, are you REALLY sure you want to install this application system wide? If you aren't sure, then CTRL + C.", or, make reallywantoinstall, etc.

Thoughts?

If the module is on CPAN, then this option would be *really* annoying - if some one has gone to the trouble of cpanning the module and you did 'cpan Mojomojo' i think the intention is pretty clear?
