Some CPAN modules default to requiring user input during the make/test/install process. fpm does not hand control back to the user at such prompts, causing the build process to mysteriously hang. Setting the
PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULTandAUTOMATED_TESTINGenvironment variables to1deals with the most common sources of such hangs.*Although it might be preferable to allow interactive input under such circumstances, implementing that is likely to be much harder, and, in any case, if users wanted to do stuff interactively they probably wouldn't be using
fpm;).Module::Buildalso usesPERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT, rather thanPERL_MB_USE_DEFAULT.
