| Subject: | Module doesn't build under cpan due to questions |
Cannot build module under cpan due to fact that cpan is not interactive and does not take defaults.
Apparently, you need to timeout your own input
and apply a default, since given an exit code of '9', it might be that cpan does a kill -9 on programs that hang.
Example:
Ishtar:law> cpan -i Template::Toolkit
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.45)
Reading '/home/CPAN-ishtar-build-cache/Metadata'

Warning: Cannot install Template::Toolkit, don't know what it is.
Try the command
i /Template::Toolkit/
to find objects with matching identifiers.

Ishtar:law> cpan -i Template

Template Toolkit Version 2.25
=============================
Using Unix defaults.
Run 'perl Makefile.PL TT_HELP' for a summary of options.
The Template Toolkit requires that the AppConfig module (version 1.56
or later) first be installed. This is used by
the 'ttree' program for reading command line options and configuration
files. It is available from CPAN:

Template::Stash::XS
-------------------
The Template::Stash module is a core part of the Template Toolkit,
implementing the magic for accessing data using the dot notation.
There is a high speed version, Template::Stash::XS, written in C.
This makes the Template Toolkit run about twice as fast as when using
the regular Template::Stash written in Perl. If you've got a C
compiler on your system then you can elect to have the XS Stash built.
You can also specify that you want to use the XS Stash by default.
Note that as of version 2.15 the XS Stash now supports access to tied
hashes and arrays.
See 'perldoc Template::Config' for further details.
[NOTE -- none of the input I typed in "interactively" is taken for input. CPAN turns off user input ability at this point. -- you can see all the "answers I typed in " at the end of the failed make at the command problem where they were finally read...]
