Subject: Problem installing some modules
Hello Jos, As I told you briefly on IRC, there are a few modules that can be installed using CPAN but cannot using CPANPLUS. The problem is typically with some kind of interactive Makefile.PL which, when launched under CPANPLUS, don't print anything (and usually don't receive any keyboard input neither). There were a few from time to time that I didn't note (bad me) but I've noted two such modules today: Data::UUID and Imager. I'll update this ticket if I find more modules with the same problem. Best Regards, Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni

sounds like the Term-in-Term problem i've encountered before, and reported a bug for in T::R::Perl (although i dont know if that's the right spot): https://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=9822 If you have spare tuits, some investigation into this problem might be worth the time... i don't think it's something from cpanplus, but something we need to work around... this problem btw, doesn't happen for 'everyone', although i'm not sure who is and is not included. -- Jos Boumans "Bush is a very stupid man.

It seems to be a problem with IPC::Run, which is not showing you on the screen the output of a subprocess... sometimes not at all,s ometimes buffered, and i've not figured how to make IPC::Run stop doing that. I've attached a test case that shows this behaviour, and am moving this bug to the ipc::run queue, in the hope it gets fixed.

Hello, Mail-IMAPClient is another distribution which doesn't work under CPANPLUS but does under CPAN. The Makefile.PL is quite simple and, althought interactive, doesn't use any fancy things, only print's and <STDIN>. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-IMAPClient/ -- Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
