I am trying to configure my CPAN::Reporter on a new Windows machine with
Strawberry Perl.

However, the file metabase-profile.BAT won't accept keyboard input at the
prompt 'Enter full name:'.   I can't type anything and have to Ctrl-C to
get out of this.

I am running cpan as Administrator and after installing CPAN::Reporter then
do cpan>reload followed by cpan>o conf init test_report

My Strawberry Perl is v5.16.2.

The point at which I get stuck is indicated below.

Has anybody else had a similar problem?

Regards,

Ross Attrill.


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 metabase_id.json')

transport? [Ross Attrill] Metabase uri
https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/
id_file metabase_id.json

Would you like to run 'metabase-profile' now to create
'C:\Users\rattrill\.cpanreporter\metabase_id.json'? [y] y
