Subject: Interactive Makefile.PL hangs on input on debian without ipc::run

Thanks for reporting this. I've been able to reproduce this on my debian box *after* removing IPC::Run from the system (which means CPANPLUS will use IPC::Open3 to run command line programs). I'll look into a remedy more closely, but a quick fix for you now is to install IPC::Run. You can get it from the standard debian mirrors as libipc-run-perl. Also, since you're a debian user, you might find the information on http://debian.pkgs.cpan.org particularly useful. Regards,

As of CPANPLUS 0.076 IPC support has much improved, and the problems you reported should be resolved. See the ChangeLog entries here: http://search.cpan.org/src/KANE/CPANPLUS-0.076/ChangeLog Thanks for reporting, -- Jos
