Subject: Build.PL is using prompt() as a function.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27597167/cannot-install-gd-module-on-darwin-13-0-1-using-cpan/28007744 for where this report came from.

Build.PL is using prompt() as a function, MakeMaker style.  In Module::Build, prompt is a class or object method.  See Module::Build::API.

It's too bad this distribution recently converted from ExtUtils::MakeMaker to Module::Build -- generally we like the conversions to happen the other way around :(

Sure, at least we can agree on that. I've removed Build.PL and fixed Makefile.PL. Fixed in RURBAN/GD-2.56_03.tar.gz and the upcoming official GD-2.57 -- Reini Urban
