Subject: No possibility for entering password interactively
It seems to me that it is not possible to enter the PAUSE password interactively. This leaves only the possibilities to add the password to the .pause file, or to enter at the command line. Both seems to me to be bad from a security point of view. The original cpan-upload script had this possibility, and it would be nice if CPAN::Uploader would have it, too. Regards, Slaven

Raised the priority, because not able to install CPAN::Uploader prevents me from trying out Dist::Zilla. Regards, Slaven
