This morning I found one of my batch jobs hanging and the logfile only revealed that it was during installation of DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.11.tar.gz but there was no apparent sign for a reason. I found the following in the Build.PL:
my $proceed = Module::Build->y_n($message, "n"); It looks like this was the cause of the hang. And I would guess one can argue that it's Module::Build's duty to set $| for these cases. Are there any arguments about it? -- andreas
