Term::ReadLine does not read from STDIN but from a TTY. IPC::Run explains
o Refusing to accept input unless stdin is a tty.
Some programs, for security reasons, will only accept certain types
of input from a tty. su, notable, will not prompt for a password
unless it's connected to a tty.
If this is your situation, use a pseudo terminal ('<pty<' and
'>pty>').
I don't know IPC::Run much so hopefully you can go from there.
