Bug #85428 for CPAN-Reporter: metabase-profile fails on Strawberry Perl

CPAN::Reporter seems to install fine (using CPAN). But when I enter "o conf init test_report", CPAN runs metabase-profile, and fails. It displays a prompt for Full Name, but won't accept any input. Would you like to run 'metabase-profile' now to create 'C:\Users\ben\.cpanreport er\metabase_id.json'? [y] y Running [C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\bin\metabase-profile.BAT --output C:\Users\ben\.c panreporter\metabase_id.json --email bena.001@optusnet.com.au --secret 05420000] ... Enter full name: After a while it seems to timeout and prompt for Transport (See below). At which point, what I tried to enter as my Full Name gets entered as my transport. If I didn't try to enter a full name, I can enter a Transport, but it then prompts for metabase-profile again, and again, until I hit ^C to break the loop. Running metabase-profile from the command line works fine, after which "o conf init test_report" skips the metabase-profile section, and works.

This gives the opportunity to skip sending particular reports if you need to (e.g. if you caused the failure). This option takes "grade:action" pairs. (Recommended: 'default:ask/yes pass/na:yes') send_report? [default:ask/yes pass/na:yes] CPAN::Reporter sends your reports over HTTPS using Metabase. This option lets you set a different uri, transport mechanism and metabase profile path. If you are receiving HTTPS errors, you may change the uri to use plain HTTP, though this is not recommended. Unless you know what you're doing, just accept the default value. (Recommended: 'Metabase uri https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/ id_file met abase_id.json') transport?

[y] n You can create a Metabase profile by typing 'metabase-profile' in your command prompt and moving the resulting file to the location you specified. If you did not specify an absolute path, put it in your .cpanreporter directory. You will need to do this before continuing. transport?
