install problems with 0.053

I just upgraded from ?0.0499? to 0.053. I had two issues: (1) It didn't appear to find my existing configuration but just asked me lots of questions over again (2) It printed a question, took my answer, printed a question, took my answer, (repeat 5-10 times) then printed 5-10 sections of information about the questions I'd already answered (what choices were available, advice on what to choose and an indication of what I had chosen). Then repeated the whole process a few times. So basically I had to answer all the questions blind. Cheers, Dave

0.053 is not compatible with 0.04x, so the config indeed has to be done again This should be noted in the changes as well. Show quoted text

This is a known bug within IPC::Run that does not flush STDOUT when it should. It's been filed in the IPC::Run queue and will hopefully be fixed soon.
