Subject: Automatic installation should be possible
It should be possible to install the module automatically, without human intervention using CPAN.pm and similar installers. Problem is that CPAN.pm executes the test suite by default, and test.pl waits until somebody clicked on the test window. My first try to fix this was to create a CPAN distroprefs rule for automatically finding the test window and clicking on it, using xdotool. Unfortunately this does not work within vnc servers (see https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/issues/75 ).
