Subject: Endless loop: dialog during Makefile.PL a trap for smoke machines
When calling the Makefile.PL of RONALDWS/LockFile-NetLock-0.31.tar.gz with PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 it runs into a fast endless loop asking FTP host where you have directory creation privileges. [] Could not verify host name - try again?(y|n) FTP host where you have directory creation privileges. [] Could not verify host name - try again?(y|n) FTP host where you have directory creation privileges. [] Could not verify host name - try again?(y|n) That's because the dialogue does not converge ever. It would be nice to have a check for the endless loop situation or have the questions changed so that they converge with the default. Thanks,

My latest version, 0.32, has now passed tests for many platforms and Perl versions. It includes a basic fix for your reported bug. Please verify and close it if satisfied. Thanks
