Subject: Remove/change external tests blocking question?
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 22:06:26 +0200
To: bug-IO-Socket-SSL [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Gilles LAMIRAL <gilles.lamiral [...] laposte.net>
Hello, I often upgrade IO::Socket::SSL and many other Perl modules on Windows systems via cpan. It's part of a general upgrade and compilation batch process, taking time. Basically I use the command: perl -MCPAN -e "install IO::Socket::SSL" IO::Socket::SSL installation process asks every time if it has to run the external tests. It is a blocking question. Could it be possible to remove this blocking question and make it a configuration option that is not blocking by default. If not, is it possible to answer this question by configuration one time for all? Or maybe on the command line? Big thanks in advance. -- Au revoir, 09 51 84 42 42 Gilles Lamiral.

The prompt is appearing because you are running the installation interactively. If you use a non-interactive cpan client such as cpanm, you will not be prompted. Additionally, you can avoid the prompt by setting PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 in your environment. From inspection of Makefile.PL, it also shows that you can avoid the prompt by setting NO_NETWORK_TESTING=1.

Thanks for pointing out that this is the expected behavior in interactive mode and that it does not happen in non-interactive mode. Since this is not a bug but the expected behavior I close this bug.
