Subject: Ezmlm 0.05 Makefile.PL enters infinite loop when no terminal is connected/input is redirected
Hello, your Makefile.PL enters an infinite loop when it is run unattended. This is bad, because if there is no input to ever be expected, it will chew up CPU time instead of simply failing to install. Please consider leaving the loop after 10 iterations of unchanged and wrong answers, or even checking if there is a terminal connected to STDIN. Thanks, -max

  Wed Mar 09 07:25:43 2005 ghalse [...] cpan.org - Correspondence added
Fixed in 0.05.1. The Makefile.PL now attempts to find each path ten times, after which it exits with an error code.
