Subject: PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 hack does not work for sudo installs
The PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 hack needed for perl 5.26 does not work in some situations: * the "sudo" install option is used (i.e. 'make_install_make_command' => q[sudo make], 'mbuild_install_build_command' => q[sudo ./Build], is set) * sudo is configured with env_reset, which seems to be the default on most (or all?) systems (tried FreeBSD, various Debians, Cent OS 7). To check, one can try: env PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 sudo env | grep -sq PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC || echo 'Problems!' * the distribution to be installed requires "." in @INC during the installation phase (e.g. KAZEBURO/WWW-Form-UrlEncoded-0.24.tar.gz, a Plack dependency)

Possible workaround: set the environment variable inside the sudo call, like this: 'mbuild_install_build_command' => q[sudo env PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 ./Build]

The problem is supposed to be fixed for Module::Build-based distributions with https://metacpan.org/release/LEONT/Module-Build-0.42_23 and I can confirm that all the listed problematic distributions now install using "sudo ./Build". Probably it's still possible that distributions construct problematic install functions (even with ExtUtils::MakeMaker), but hopefully nothing like this exists in the CPAN.

I'll declare this ticket resolved by already mentioned Module::Build release. Please reopen when new evidence comes in.
