This happens when ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm isn't seeded yet. The CPAN::FirstTime module tries to prompt for the configuration, but the magic in t/03_autoinstall apparently manages to override the prompt to return 'n', which isn't a valid choice for an absolute path to the CPAN build directory. As a result the PROMPT loop in /usr/share/perl/5.10/CPAN/FirstTime.pm:653 is never exited. I suppose we need to get the whole CPAN module to use something outside $HOME. No idea how. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
