Subject: tests hang on automated installs (e.g. cpanm)
The way get_ans() is written in tests.pl causes a hang if there's no one at the other end of STDIN to hit y or n; this causes automated installations to fail (e.g. cpanm, but also any backend application module management solution). IO::Prompt::Tiny will give you a prompt() that will correctly handle situations where the package is being installed w/o a human involved. Thanks! :)
