As Eric already answered, we have a different issue here that is not a bug in perl. Module::Build 0.2806 recently fixed an issue in SVN where eof(STDIN) was called before any prompt was printed like in the example above. To the best of my kowledge this bug is fixed now in the Module::Build repository. -- andreas
