Could you please try running the Makefile.PL manually through
CPAN::Reporter::record_command()?
$ perl -MCPAN::Reporter -e 'CPAN::Reporter::record_command("$^X
Makefile.PL")'
[16:10] andy $ perl -MCPAN::Reporter -e
'CPAN::Reporter::record_command("$^X Makefile.PL")'
Install perl-reversion script? [N] y

Oh, and do you have "inactivity_timout" set in your CPAN::Config? I
wonder if that's doing something.
inactivity_timeout [0]
So please try the record_command again with a timeout:
$ perl -MCPAN::Reporter -e 'CPAN::Reporter::record_command("$^X
Makefile.PL", 60)'
[16:12] andy $ perl -MCPAN::Reporter -e
'CPAN::Reporter::record_command("$^X Makefile.PL", 60)'
Install perl-reversion script? [N] y
<< 60 seconds pass >>
(perl Makefile.PL exited with 9)
[16:13] andy $ y
-bash: y: command not found
So Makefile.PL doesn't see the input at all - I guess it's not
connected to STDIN for some reason.
