Subject: documentation - PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL docs are confusing.
The documentation for how to disable set the environment variable is a little confusing. The pod currentl says: ExtUtils::AutoInstall uses a single environment variable, PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL. It is taken as the command line argument passed to Makefile.PL; you could set it to either -- defaultdeps or --skipdeps to avoid interactive behaviour. I suggest this: ExtUtils::AutoInstall can be controlled by the environment variable, PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL. You can set it to: --defaultdeps or --skipdeps to avoid interactive behaviour. It can also be passed as a command line argument passed to Makefile.PL.
