Subject: Add an "all" option when asking about dependencies
I'm installing Devel::ebug right now with prereqs set to "ask". Devel::ebug has over a dozen dependencies one of which is Catalyst. Catalyst has lots of dependencies. As a result I have to sit and mash return when Should I install this module? [Y/n]: comes up. It would be nice if there was an "a" option. "Yes to all" for the duration of this installation.

Hmm, that would be currently kinda hard to implement, but i'll give it some thought. As a way around this, you can set your 's conf prereqs 1' for this particular install, and set it back to '2' when done (setting you back to 'ask' mode_ -- Jos Boumans 'Real programmers use "cat > a.out"' CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.net

This has now been implemented for the default shell. Users can select a 'yes to all' or 'no to all' option. Thanks for suggesting this feature,
