Perl CPAN Support, Frozen cpanm Command, Interactive Makefile.PL #1519
Description
When I try to run fpm for the Inline::CPP software on CPAN, it gets partway through the process and then hangs. If you just look at the output, you will think it is waiting for info about Parse::RecDescent, but I put a bunch of checkpoints in the code and it is actually getting well past that.
$ fpm --no-cpan-test --cpan-verbose --verbose --debug-workspace --workdir /home/wbraswell/rperl_packager_tmp/ -t rpm -s cpan Inline::CPP
...
LOTS OF OUTPUT HERE

This is the line where it actually freezes:

This is the command which is actually frozen:
$ perl -Mlocal::lib=/home/wbraswell/rperl_packager_tmp/package-cpan-build-2cb511583273a27fa85f246094e26472cffc43fbd51a5581c969ecf4aa93/cpan Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local INSTALL_BASE=
If we run this command directly, we see it is interactive and is waiting on user input!

I'm not sure how to handle this just yet, let me know if you have any solutions, thanks! :-)
