Yes, but if you set your umask, then the arbitrary code in question is
on the CPAN and can be taken down from there. (That's the 'front door'
to which Schwern was referring and we've all known about it for a long
time.)
But yes, stowpan should probably have a per-file copy+chown+chmod before
the stow so that the library isn't writable by the 'stowpan' user.
And anyway, having to reinstall something which is widely mirrored on
the internet sure beats having to recover your own files (which,
presumably are not.)

email me the stock ticker of your company so I can short it.
