The following report was from perlbug originally. It does not appear to be a problem with CPAN, since the problem does not occur with Term::ReadLine::Gnu. It is repeatable with CPAN and Term::ReadLine::Perl. The following components were used: CPAN 0.70 Term::ReadLine::Perl 1.0203 In the following tests start the CPAN shell and then press Ctrl-C, followed by Ctrl-D == 5.8.0: % perl-5.8.0 -MCPAN -eshell Show quoted text

[...] results in endless loop consisting of the last line same problem for 5.8.1-tobe Certainly, the warning is probably a problem in CPAN.pm, but the endless loop appearing only the blead/maint versions doesn't sound good.
