Subject: Unable to get Terminal Size
Error installing CPLANPLUS 0.72 using CPANPLUS 0.61 shell: perl 5.8.8 compiled on Linux 2.4.20. On command line perl Makefile.PL runs without problems. Term::ReadKey 2.30 Term::ReadLine::Perl 1.0302 Same problem appeared when installing several other module using CPANPLUS; manual installation also is ok. Running [/usr/local/bin/perl -MCPANPLUS::Internals::Utils::Autoflush Makefile.PL UNINST=1]... Unable to get Terminal Size. The TIOCGWINSZ ioctl didn't work. The COLUMNS and LINES environment variables didn't work. The resize program didn't work. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/Term/ReadKey.pm line 362. Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm line 63. [ERROR] Could not run '/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL': Unable to get Terminal Size.

I have the same problem under Linux/amd64: Running [/usr/bin/perl5.8.7 -MCPANPLUS::Internals::Utils::Autoflush Makefile.PL ]... Unable to get Terminal Size. The TIOCGWINSZ ioctl didn't work. The COLUMNS and LINES environment variables didn't work. The resize program didn't work. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/Term/ReadKey.pm line 362. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm line 58. [ERROR] Could not run '/usr/bin/perl5.8.7 Makefile.PL': Unable to get Terminal Size. The TIOCGWINSZ ioctl didn't work. The COLUMNS and LINES environment variables didn't work. The resize program didn't work. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/Term/ReadKey.pm line 362. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm line 58. Manually running "perl Makefile.PL" works though, so I think the problem is related to fact the Makefile.PL isn't executed on a real terminal. I also think the bug is in Term::ReadLine::Perl as recent versions can't be installed from CPAN/CPANPLUS because tests fail with this error, while they pass when executed from a shell. -- Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

A bit of research gives me the same results as you. I'd think the culprit is indeed one of the Term::ReadLine::* modules.
